Ncaph - non-SMC condensin I complex, subunit H

Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in female meiosis chromosome separation. Acts upstream of or within meiotic chromosome condensation and meiotic chromosome segregation. Located in nucleus. Part of condensin complex. Is active in chromosome. Is expressed in midbrain ventricular layer; nephrogenic zone; olfactory cortex ventricular layer; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. Orthologous to human NCAPH (non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H).
