UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9NXR1 (Q9NXR1)
Gene Name:
NDE1
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Required for centrosome duplication and formation and function of the mitotic spindle. Essential for the development of the cerebral cortex. May regulate the production of neurons by controlling the orientation of the mitotic spindle during division of cortical neuronal progenitors of the proliferative ventricular zone of the brain. Orientation of the division plane perpendicular to the layers of the cortex gives rise to two proliferative neuronal progenitors whereas parallel orientation of the division plane yields one proliferative neuronal progenitor and a postmitotic neuron. A premature shift towards a neuronal fate within the progenitor population may result in an overall reduction in the final number of neurons and an increase in the number of neurons in the deeper layers of the cortex. Acts as a RAB9A/B effector that tethers RAB9-associated late endosomes to the dynein motor for their retrograde transport to the trans-Golgi network (PubMed:34793709)
