This entry represents protein moonraker (MNR) from animals. MNR is a centriolar satellite component involved in centriole duplication. It promotes centriole duplication by localizing WDR62 to the centrosome [].
Cep72 is a centrosomal protein that interacts with Kizuna and plays an important role in maintaining microtubule-organizing activity and structural integrity of the centrosome. It is required for localization of KIZ, AKAP9 and gamma-tubulin ring complexes (gamma-TuRCs) []and for CDK5RAP22, CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 centrosomal localization [].
