[5][6] This gene encodes a protein that functions in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome.

A similar protein in mouse plays a role in both interkinetic nuclear migration, which is a characteristic pattern of nuclear movement in neural progenitors, and in neural progenitor self-renewal.

Mutations in this gene are predicted to result in neurogenic defects.
