Gene ID: 163786 | Gene type: protein coding

About SASS6

Cytogenetic location: 1p21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:100,083,570-100,132,930 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 191 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 6.8), testis (RPKM 6.7) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a central component of centrioles and is necessary for their duplication and function. Centrioles adopt a cartwheel-shaped structure, with the encoded protein forming the hub and spokes inside a microtubule cylinder. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
