Facts about WD repeat-containing protein WRAP73.
Required for the targeting of centriole satellite proteins to centrosomes such as of PCM1, SSX2IP, CEP290 and PIBF1/CEP90. Required for ciliogenesis and involved in the removal of this CEP97:CCP110 complex from the mother centriole.

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite. Enriched in the proximal end of the mother centriole (PubMed:26545777). During ciliogenesis also associated with the basal body of the adjacent centriole (PubMed:26675238).
