CEP55 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in cranial skeletal system development; establishment of protein localization; and midbody abscission. Acts upstream of or within mitotic cytokinesis. Located in Flemming body; centriolar satellite; and plasma membrane. Implicated in multinucleated neurons, anhydramnios, renal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia and hydranencephaly. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human CEP55 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
