Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 homolog (SAS-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SASS6 gene.[1][2][3]

Function

SAS-6 is necessary for centrosome duplication and functions during procentriole formation; SAS-6 functions to ensure that each centriole seeds the formation of a single procentriole per cell cycle.[4]

Clinical significance

Mutations in SASS6 are associated to MCPH .[5]
