Based on limited published evidence, CEP295NL (CEP295 N-terminal like) is a centriole and centrosome-associated protein involved in regulating centriole replication. It localizes to the cytosol and centrosome. CEP295NL interacts with IQUB protein, which plays a role in sperm radial spoke assembly and male fertility 1. The protein may facilitate proper assembly of radial spoke structures through protein-protein interactions, though its direct molecular function remains largely uncharacterized.
