    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of chromatin. Predicted to be involved in centromere complex assembly; establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; and mitotic cytokinesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region. Predicted to be located in chromosome, centromeric region and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of CENP-A containing nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune disease. Orthologous to human CENPA (centromere protein A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
