disease:Defects in PCNT are the cause of microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 2 (MOPD2) [MIM:210720]; also known as osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 2. Adults with this rare inherited condition have an average height of 100 centimeters and a brain size comparable to that of a 3-month-old baby, but are of near-normal intelligence.,function:An integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM).,subcellular location:Centrosomal at all stages of the cell cycle. Remains associated with centrosomes following microtubule depolymerization.,subunit:Interacts with PCM1. Binds calmodulin.,tissue specificity:Expressed in all tissues tested, including placenta, liver, kidney and thymus.,
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Centrosomal at all stages of the cell cycle. Remains associated with centrosomes following microtubule depolymerization. Colocalized with DISC1 at the centrosome.
Expressed in all tissues tested, including placenta, liver, kidney and thymus.
