Summary
This gene encodes a regulator of CDK5 (cyclin-dependent kinase 5) activity. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the centrosome and Golgi complex, interacts with CDK5R1 and pericentrin (PCNT), plays a role in centriole engagement and microtubule nucleation, and has been linked to primary microcephaly and Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Using homozygosity mapping complemented with whole-exome, gene panel or Sanger sequencing, we identified 12 novel mutations in 3 known MCPH-associated genes - 9 in ASPM, 2 in MCPH1 and 1 in CDK5RAP2. The 2 MCPH1 mutations were homozygous microdeletions of 164,250 and 577,594 bp, respectively, for which we were able to map the exact breakpoints

  10. Data suggest that CDK5RAP2 and CEP170 both interact with microtubule nucleation-promoting region of AKAP350A; CEP68 interacts with distal C-terminal region of AKAP350A; AKAP350A spans the bridge between centrioles. (CDK5RAP2 = CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 2; CEP170 = centrosomal protein 170kDa; AKAP350A = A kinase (PRKA) anchor protein (yotiao) 9; CEP68 = centrosomal protein 68kDa)

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
