Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including male meiotic nuclear division; mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint signaling; and nuclear chromosome segregation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and negative regulation of cytokinesis. Located in intercellular bridge; kinetochore; and midbody. Is expressed in germ cell of ovary; germ cell of testis; ovary; and primordial germ cell of gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 23. Orthologous to human TEX14 (testis expressed 14, intercellular bridge forming factor).
