Predicted to enable centromeric DNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in attachment of mitotic spindle microtubules to kinetochore; kinetochore assembly; and monopolar spindle attachment to meiosis I kinetochore. Predicted to be located in chromosome, centromeric region; midbody; and nuclear body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CREST syndrome and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human CENPC (centromere protein C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
