Ninein-like protein

Ninein-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "NINL" gene. It is part of the centrosome.
Model organisms.
Model organisms have been used in the study of NINL function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called "Ninltm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi" was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.
Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.
