Gene information for CETN2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1069
Official gene symbolCETN2
Full namecentrin, EF-hand protein, 2
Aliases,CALT,CEN2,
Gene summary Caltractin belongs to a family of calcium-binding proteins and is a structural component of the centrosome. The high level of conservation from algae to humans and its association with the centrosome suggested that caltractin plays a fundamental role in the structure and function of the microtubule-organizing center, possibly required for the proper duplication and segregation of the centrosome.
