(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID259266
Official gene symbolASPM
Full nameasp (abnormal spindle) homolog, microcephaly associated (Drosophila)
Aliases,ASP,Calmbp1,DKFZp686N06184,FLJ10517,FLJ10549,FLJ43117,MCPH5,
Gene summaryThis gene is the human ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster 'abnormal spindle' gene (asp), which is essential for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts. Studies in mouse also suggest a role of this gene in mitotic spindle regulation, with a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with microcephaly primary type 5.
