NCBI Gene lists human CEP70 as Gene ID 80321. Ensembl identifies the gene as ENSG00000114107 on chromosome 3. UniProt lists the reviewed human protein entry as Q8NHQ1, centrosomal protein of 70 kDa.

The encoded protein is reported at protein level in UniProt and the Human Protein Atlas. Like many centrosomal proteins, CEP70 is mainly discussed in relation to cell structure, microtubule organisation and mitosis.

UniProt describes CEP70 as playing a role in the organisation of both existing and new microtubules in interphase cells. During mitosis, it is required for the organisation and orientation of the mitotic spindle.

Laboratory research has reported that CEP70 localises to the centrosome throughout the cell cycle and interacts with gamma-tubulin. That interaction is relevant because gamma-tubulin is a key centrosomal component involved in microtubule nucleation.

CEP70 is mainly a cell-biology gene in public reference databases. Some research has examined possible links between CEP70 variation and reproductive biology, including male infertility, but the gene is not usually presented as a routine diagnostic topic in general medical sources.

Claims about disease involvement should therefore be tied to specific studies or curated gene-disease databases rather than stated as established clinical fact.
