Gene: CEP164
Alternate names for this Gene: NPHP15
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a centrosomal protein involved in microtubule organization, DNA damage response, and chromosome segregation. The encoded protein is required for assembly of primary cilia and localizes to mature centrioles. Defects in this gene are a cause of nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q23.3
Description of this Gene: centrosomal protein 164
Type of Gene: protein-coding
