Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable anaphase-promoting complex binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and ubiquitin ligase activator activity. Involved in metaphase/anaphase transition of meiosis I; positive regulation of synapse maturation; and positive regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; mitotic spindle assembly; and regulation of meiotic nuclear division. Located in centrosome and kinetochore. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; female reproductive system; hemolymphoid system; and trigeminal ganglion. Orthologous to human CDC20 (cell division cycle 20).
