Human Msd1/SSX2IP is a component of centriolar satellites and essential for microtubule anchoring to the centrosome. Anchoring defects lead to abnormal accumulation of centriolar components at centriolar satellites, which interferes with centriole assembly. Loss of Msd1/SSX2IP produces supernumerary centriole precursors specifically in tumor cells.
