Mcph1 - microcephaly, primary autosomal recessive 1 Gene

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; neuronal stem cell population maintenance; and protein localization to centrosome. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and Cytoskeleton. Is expressed in brain. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; endometrial cancer; microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1. Orthologous to human MCPH1 (microcephalin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
