Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable histone H2A kinase activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within chromosome segregation and positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in kinetochore. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. Orthologous to human BUB1 (BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase).
