This gene encodes a centrosomal protein that maintains the structural integrity of the centrosome and plays a key role in mitotic spindle formation. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. It associates with the centrosome throughout the cell cycle and accumulates on the mitotic centrosome.
