HAUS1
Function
Contributes to mitotic spindle assembly, maintenance of centrosome integrity and completion of cytokinesis as part of the HAUS augmin-like complex.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the HAUS1 family.
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed. Expressed in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, liver and heart. Weakly expressed in lung, brain and placenta.

- Localizes with the spindle poles in mitotic cells. In metaphase, localizes to the mitotic asters and is highly punctate on the microtubule array. During later stages of mitosis, remains on the spindle but is not present at the interzone, and is finally observed at the microtubule bundles proximal to the midbody, clearly excluded from the midbody. In contrast, does not colocalize with the tubulin cytoskeleton in interphase cells. In interphase, localized at the centrosome and diffusely in the cytoplasm. Localizes to mitotic spindle microtubules.
