Cenpa - centromere protein A

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; kinetochore assembly; and protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region. Predicted to be located in kinetochore; nucleoplasm; and pericentric heterochromatin. Predicted to be part of inner kinetochore and nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune disease. Orthologous to human CENPA (centromere protein A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
