Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in female meiosis chromosome separation and mitotic chromosome condensation. Predicted to act upstream of or within meiotic chromosome condensation and meiotic chromosome segregation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of condensin complex. Predicted to be active in chromosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. Orthologous to human NCAPH (non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
