Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable methylated histone binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of chromosome segregation and positive regulation of chromosome separation. Acts upstream of or within meiotic chromosome separation. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome; germinal vesicle; and kinetochore. Part of condensin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. Orthologous to human NCAPD3 (non-SMC condensin II complex subunit D3).
