Also known as: p30; PRR6; CENP-V; 3110013H01Rik
Summary: Predicted to enable carbon-sulfur lyase activity and metal ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including centromere complex assembly; pericentric heterochromatin formation; and positive regulation of cytokinesis. Acts upstream of or within ameboidal-type cell migration. Located in several cellular components, including midbody; nucleus; and spindle midzone. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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.
