KIZ
Description
The KIZ (kizuna centrosomal protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20.
KIZ or KIZ may refer to:
KIZ plays a critical role in ensuring the proper structure and function of the centrosome, the microtubule organizing center within cells. It is essential for creating a strong and stable centrosome architecture, particularly during cell division when the centrosome faces significant forces as the spindle forms. KIZ is also involved in maintaining the pericentriolar material (PCM), a complex structure surrounding the centriole, which is crucial for centrosome function.
KIZ is also known as C20orf19, HT013, Kizuna, NCRNA00153, PLK1S1, RP69.
