Gene: CEP250
Alternate names for this Gene: C-NAP1|CEP2|CNAP1|CRDHL2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a core centrosomal protein required for centriole-centriole cohesion during interphase of the cell cycle. The encoded protein dissociates from the centrosomes when parental centrioles separate at the beginning of mitosis. The protein associates with and is phosphorylated by NIMA-related kinase 2, which is also associated with the centrosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 20
Location in Chromosome : 20q11.22
Description of this Gene: centrosomal protein 250
Type of Gene: protein-coding
