Component of the deuterosome, a structure that promotes de novo centriole amplification in multiciliated cells that can generate more than 100 centrioles. Deuterosome-mediated centriole amplification occurs in terminally differentiated multiciliated cells (G1/0) and not in S phase. Essential for centriole amplification and is required for CEP152 localization to the deuterosome. Localizes to centrioles and deuterosome. Found primarily in the perinuclear region as well as along the sarcolemmal membrane and in reticular pattern within the sarcoplasm. Expressed primarily in skeletal muscle. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Due to intron retention. Due to intron retention. Due to intron retention. Due to intron retention. Belongs to the CCDC78 family.
