  • associates with centrosomes during interphase and with spindle microtubules during mitosis
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing a role in the maintenance of the fundamental structure of the fibrillar center and dense fibrillar component in the nucleolus
  • ZBTB18 is implicated with CEP170 as novel genes causative for corpus callosal abnormalities in patients with a terminal 1q deletion

  • DKC1
  • fibrillarin
  • physiological substrate of PLK1 )
  • binding partner of WDR62, which is of interest given the involvement of other centrosomal proteins in microcephaly
  • CEP170 and CEP170B (KIAA0284) are specifically associating with KIF2B
  • TBK1 binds to the centrosomal protein CEP170 and to the mitotic apparatus protein NUMA1, and both CEP170 and NUMA1 are TBK1 substrates
