Protein function (UniProt)

Centrosomal protein POC5

Essential for the assembly of the distal half of centrioles, required for centriole elongation (PubMed:19349582, PubMed:32946374). Acts as a negative regulator of centriole elongation (PubMed:37934472)

Curated MONDO disease pages that list POC5 among their top associated genes.
