Centrosomal Protein 192 (CEP192)

Centrosomal Protein 192 (CEP192) is a key component of the centrosome, an organelle in cells that organizes microtubules—structures essential for cell division, shape, and transport. CEP192 plays a crucial role in assembling and maintaining the centrosome's structure and function, particularly during the early stages of mitosis when the cell divides. Proper functioning of CEP192 ensures accurate chromosome segregation and cell division, which is vital for tissue health and development. Dysregulation or mutations in CEP192 can lead to errors in cell division, potentially contributing to diseases such as cancer.
