Gene: CEP112
Alternate names for this Gene: CCDC46|MACOCO|SPGF44
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain containing protein that belongs to the cell division control protein 42 effector protein family. In neurons, it localizes to the cytoplasm of dendrites and is also enriched in the nucleus where it interacts with the RNA polymerase III transcriptional repressor Maf1 to regulate gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor surface expression. In addition, the protein has been identified as a component of the human centrosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q24.1
Description of this Gene: centrosomal protein 112
Type of Gene: protein-coding
