CDCA2 cell division cycle associated 2

Gene ID: 157313, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PPP1R81; Repo-Man

Summary

This gene encodes a targeting subunit of the cell-cycle associated protein, protein phosphatase 1, with a role in targeting this protein to chromatin during anaphase. These two proteins comprise a phosphatase complex that is involved in nuclear envelope reformation and regulation of the DNA damage response. The encoded protein may also play a role in cancer progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
