Symbol: spd-5
Gene Synopsis: spd-5 encodes a coiled-coil domain protein; spd-5 activity is required for centrosome maturation, symmetry...pronuclear migration, mitotic spindle assembly, and cell division; in regulating centrosome maturation, spd...-5 interacts genetically with spd-2, which also encodes a coiled-coil protein; SPD-5 physically interacts...ortholog and spd-5(RNAi) results in increased germline apoptosis, suggesting an additional role for SPD...-5 in regulation of apoptosis; SPD-5 localizes to the pericentriolar material.
