Pcnt - pericentrin (kendrin)

Predicted to enable calmodulin binding activity and molecular adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; mitotic spindle organization; and neuron migration. Located in several cellular components, including cis-Golgi network; intercellular bridge; and microtubule organizing center. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Orthologous to human PCNT (pericentrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
