Gene: KIZ

Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf19|HT013|Kizuna|NCRNA00153|PLK1S1|RP69

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene localizes to centrosomes, strengthening and stabilizing the pericentriolar region prior to spindle formation. The encoded protein usually remains with the mother centrosome after centrosomal duplication. Sevral transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
