This gene encodes a core centrosomal protein required for centriole-centriole cohesion during interphase of the cell cycle. The encoded protein dissociates from the centrosomes when parental centrioles separate at the beginning of mitosis. The protein ass

Centrosome-associated protein CEP250 (250 kDa centrosomal protein) (Cep250) (Centrosomal Nek2-associated protein 1) (C-Nap1) (Centrosomal protein 2)
Protein function
Plays an important role in centrosome cohesion during interphase (PubMed:30404835, PubMed:36282799). Recruits CCDC102B to the proximal ends of centrioles (PubMed:30404835). Maintains centrosome cohesion by forming intercentriolar linkages (PubMe
