About Aspm

Summary

Enables Calmodulin binding activity. Involved in regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gamete generation; maintenance of centrosome location; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and midbody. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; and perichondrium. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 5; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human ASPM (assembly factor for spindle microtubules). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
