sas-4 encodes a predicted coiled-coil protein and centriole component recruited to the centrosome once per cell cycle at the time of organelle duplication and is required for centriole duplication and spindle assembly, levels dictate centrosome size, and also affects germ cell proliferation and locomotion; colocalizes with gamma-tubulin to centrosomes both in sperm and in the syncitial part of the gonad.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
