Function

DGT4_DROME As part of the augmin complex, plays a role in centrosome-independent generation of spindle microtubules (PubMed:18443220). The complex is required for mitotic spindle assembly through its involvement in localizing gamma-tubulin to spindle microtubules (PubMed:17412918).^{[1] [2]}
