CENPO centromere protein O

Gene ID: 79172, updated on 24-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CENP-O; MCM21R; ICEN-36

Summary

This gene encodes a component of the interphase centromere complex. The encoded protein is localized to the centromere throughout the cell cycle and is required for bipolar spindle assembly, chromosome segregation and checkpoint signaling during mitosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple protein isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
