Espl1 - extra spindle pole bodies like 1, separase

Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in meiotic chromosome separation. Predicted to act upstream of or within homologous chromosome segregation; meiotic spindle organization; and mitotic sister chromatid segregation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Orthologous to human ESPL1 (extra spindle pole bodies like 1, separase).
