Generic protein structure example

Centrosomal protein of 164 kDa, also known as CEP164, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP164 gene.[1][2] Its function appears two be twofold: CEP164 is required for primary cilium formation.[3] Furthermore, it is an important component in the response to DNA damage by UV light.[4][5]
