Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; dynein complex binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of striated muscle tissue development. Located in cytoskeleton and pronucleus. Part of ciliary transition fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and limb. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Stromme syndrome. Orthologous to human CENPF (centromere protein F).
