UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q6UVJ0 (Q6UVJ0)
Gene Name:
SASS6
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry (By similarity). Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication: required both for mother-centriole-dependent centriole duplication and deuterosome-dependent centriole amplification in multiciliated cells (PubMed:15665853, PubMed:16244668, PubMed:17681131). Not required for centriole formation in embryonic stem cells but necessary to maintain centriole architecture (By similarity). Required for the recruitment of STIL to the procentriole and for STIL-mediated centriole amplification (PubMed:22020124). Overexpression results in excess foci-bearing centriolar markers (PubMed:15665853)
