CEP68
Sign in to saveAlso known as KIAA0582, centrosomal protein 68
Centrosomal protein of 68 kDa is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP68 gene. CEP68 is required for centrosome cohesion. It decorates fibres emanating from the proximal ends of centrioles. During mitosis, CEP68 dissociates from centrosomes. CEP68 and rootletin depend on each other for centriole association, and both also require CEP250 for their function.

Enables protein domain specific binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in centriole-centriole cohesion and protein localization to organelle. Located in several cellular components, including centriolar satellite; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
