Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome segregation; kinetochore assembly; and mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Predicted to be located in chromosome, centromeric region. Predicted to be part of inner kinetochore. Predicted to be active in kinetochore and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human CENPW (centromere protein W).
