CEP76
Description
The CEP76 (centrosomal protein 76) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 18.
CEP76 (Centrosomal protein of 76 kDa) is a human protein encoded by the CEP76 gene. It is involved in the regulation of centriole duplication. Information about its genomic location and gene details can be found on the UCSC Genome Browser.
CEP76 plays a crucial role in regulating centriole duplication, ensuring that this process occurs only once per cell cycle. It achieves this by preventing the formation of additional centrioles, thereby maintaining the proper number of these essential cell structures.
CEP76 is also known as C18orf9, HsT1705.
