Summaries for ASPM Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for ASPM Gene

  • This gene is the human ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster 'abnormal spindle' gene (asp), which is essential for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts. Studies in mouse also suggest a role of this gene in mitotic spindle regulation, with a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with microcephaly primary type 5. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

GeneCards Summary for ASPM Gene

ASPM (Abnormal Spindle Microtubule Assembly) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ASPM include Microcephaly 5, Primary, Autosomal Recessive and Microcephaly. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include binding and calmodulin binding.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for ASPM Gene

  • Involved in mitotic spindle regulation and coordination of mitotic processes. The function in regulating microtubule dynamics at spindle poles including spindle orientation, astral microtubule density and poleward microtubule flux seems to depend on the association with the katanin complex formed by KATNA1 and KATNB1. Enhances the microtubule lattice severing activity of KATNA1 by recruiting the katanin complex to microtubules. Can block microtubule minus-end growth and reversely this function can be enhanced by the katanin complex (PubMed:28436967). May have a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis.

ASPM_HUMAN
  • Microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH5) [MIM:608716]: A disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. Despite this marked reduction in size, the gyral pattern is relatively well preserved, with no major abnormality in cortical architecture. Affected individuals are mentally retarded. Primary microcephaly is further defined by the absence of other syndromic features or significant neurological deficits due to degenerative brain disorder. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12355089, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14574646, ECO:0000269 PubMed:22989186}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
