Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CENP-ACenH3
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p23.3
Summary Centromeres are the differentiated chromosomal domains that specify the mitotic behavior of chromosomes. This gene encodes a centromere protein which contains a histone H3 related histone fold domain that is required for targeting to the centromere. Centr
