Ninein-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NINL gene.[1][2] It is part of the centrosome.[3]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of NINL function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Ninltm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[8][9] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[10][11][12] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[6][13] Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.[6]
