Gene:
centrin, EF-hand protein, 2
Gene ID:
194781
Symbol:
CETN2
Species:
1000
Description:
Caltractin belongs to a family of calcium-binding proteins and is a structural component of the centrosome. The high level of conservation from algae to humans and its association with the centrosome suggested that caltractin plays a fundamental role in the structure and function of the microtubule-organizing center, possibly required for the proper duplication and segregation of the centrosome.
