Involved in the biogenesis of cilia . Required for the recruitment of PLK1 to centrosomes and S phase progression .
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole . Cell projection, cilium . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasmic granule . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite . Localizes to the centrosome throughout cell cycle progression (PubMed:24018379). Localization to centrioles and pericentriolar satellites may be mediated by KIAA0753/OFIP (PubMed:26643951). .
