Gene:
ninein (GSK3B interacting protein)
Gene ID:
198606
Symbol:
NIN
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes one of the proteins important for centrosomal function. This protein is important for positioning and anchoring the microtubules minus-ends in epithelial cells. Localization of this protein to the centrosome requires three leucine zippers in the central coiled-coil domain. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been reported.
