Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in replication fork processing and resolution of meiotic recombination intermediates. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division and cellular response to DNA damage stimulus. Predicted to be located in kinetochore and nucleus. Predicted to be part of FANCM-MHF complex and Fanconi anaemia nuclear complex. Is expressed in brain; sensory organ; skeleton; and testis. Orthologous to several human genes including CENPS-CORT (CENPS-CORT readthrough). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
