Function |
Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry. Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication: required both for mother-centriole-dependent centriole duplication and deuterosome-dependent centriole amplification in multiciliated cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=Component of the centrosome. Component of the deuterosome, a structure that promotes de novo centriole amplification in multiciliated cells that can generate more than 100 centrioles (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
