Background
This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and mental retardation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011],

Cellular localization
Nucleus . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole . Shows cell cycle-dependent localization. Accumulates to the spindle pole during mitosis. Colocalizes with CDK5RAP2, CEP152 and WDR62 in a discrete ring around the proximal end of the parental centriole. At this site, a cohesive structure is predicted to engage parental centrioles and procentrioles. .
Tissue expression
Present in fetal brain, enriched within the ventricular and subventricular zone (at protein level). In the embryonic brain it is expressed in mitotic neural precursor cells.
