Cep55 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cranial skeletal system development; establishment of protein localization; and midbody abscission. Located in intercellular bridge and midbody. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; germ cell of testis; and ovary. Used to study Meckel syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multinucleated neurons, anhydramnios, renal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia and hydranencephaly. Orthologous to human CEP55 (centrosomal protein 55).

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 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.
