Cep152 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Involved in centriole replication and de novo centriole assembly involved in multi-ciliated epithelial cell differentiation. Located in centrosome and deuterosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; lung; pharynx epithelium; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 5 and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 9. Orthologous to human CEP152 (centrosomal protein 152).

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 Cep152 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • RecF/RecN/SMC N terminal domain
  • chromosome segregation protein SMC, common bacterial type
  • exonuclease SbcC
  • protein kinase binding
  • Synaptonemal complex protein 1 (SCP-1)
  • helix-rich Mycoplasma protein
