Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient assembly of the kinetochore occurs during mitosis. All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays |
UniProt ID |
Q71F23
|
Protein name |
Centromere protein U (CENP-U) (Centromere protein of 50 kDa) (CENP-50) (Interphase centromere complex protein 24) (KSHV latent nuclear antigen-interacting protein 1) (MLF1-interacting protein) (Polo-box-interacting protein 1) |
Protein function |
Component of the CENPA-NAC (nucleosome-associated) complex, a complex that plays a central role in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. The CENPA-NAC complex recruits the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) |
