Function |
Plays an important role in cell division and centrosome function by participating in centriole duplication. Inhibits microtubule nucleation from the centrosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15047868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17681131, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20531387}.

Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Note=Localized within the center of microtubule asters. During centriole biogenesis, it is concentrated within the proximal lumen of both parental centrioles and procentrioles.
