Enables centromeric DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within meiotic nuclear division; mismatch repair; and protein localization. Located in chiasma; male germ cell nucleus; and synaptonemal complex. Part of mismatch repair complex. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; ileum; reproductive system; and trigeminal nerve.
