Summary
SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1 like, HGNC:29022) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q11.23, encoding Cytospin-A (Q69YQ0). Involved in cytokinesis and spindle organization.
This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain containing protein. The encoded protein may play a critical role in actin-cytoskeletal reorganization during facial morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oblique facial clefting-1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A read-through transcript composed of SPECC1L (sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like) and the downstream ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) gene sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding.

Function. Involved in cytokinesis and spindle organization. May play a role in actin cytoskeleton organization and microtubule stabilization and hence required for proper cell adhesion and migration.
Subunit / interactions. May interact with both microtubules and actin cytoskeleton.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle. Cell junction. Gap junction.
Disease relevance. Facial clefting, oblique, 1 (OBLFC1) [MIM:600251] A rare form of facial clefting. A facial cleft is any of the fissures between the embryonic prominences that normally unite to form the face. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Teebi hypertelorism syndrome 1 (TBHS1) [MIM:145420] A form of Teebi hypertelorism syndrome, a syndrome characterized by an abnormally increased distance between ocular orbits, and facial features that can resemble craniofrontonasal dysplasia such as prominent forehead, widow’s peak, heavy and broad eyebrows, long palpebral fissures, ptosis, high and broad nasal bridge, short nose, low-set ears, natal teeth, thin upper lip and a grooved chin. Some affected individuals have limb, urogenital, umbilical and cardiac defects. Developmental delay and/or impaired intellectual development have been observed in some patients. TBHS1 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the cytospin-A family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 225 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
