NCAPG non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G

Gene ID: 64151, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CAPG; CHCG; YCG1; NY-MEL-3

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the condensin complex, which is responsible for the condensation and stabilization of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Phosphorylation of the encoded protein activates the condensin complex. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 8 and 15. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
