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

Protein
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)
