CEP120


Description

The CEP120 (centrosomal protein 120) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.

CEP120, also known as coiled-coil domain-containing protein 100, is a protein encoded by the CEP120 gene in humans. It plays a crucial role in linking the nucleus and the centrosome through microtubules. In mice, a similar protein is involved in interkinetic nuclear migration, a characteristic movement pattern of neural progenitors, and neural progenitor self-renewal. Mutations in CEP120 are thought to lead to neurodevelopmental defects.

CEP120 is also known as CCDC100, JBTS31, SRTD13.
