Cep20 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Located in ciliary basal body and motile cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human CEP20 (centrosomal protein 20).

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 mouse Cep20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
