CEP120
# CEP120

Centrosomal protein of 120 kDa (Cep120), also known as coiled-coil domain-containing protein 100, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP120 gene.

## Function

This gene encodes a protein that functions in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. A similar protein in mouse plays a role in both interkinetic nuclear migration, which is a characteristic pattern of nuclear movement in neural progenitors, and in neural progenitor self-renewal. Mutations in this gene are predicted to result in neurogenic defects.
