Knl1 - kinetochore scaffold 1

Predicted to be involved in attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore and protein localization to kinetochore. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division and chromosome segregation. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle; kinetochore; and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in telencephalon ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 4. Orthologous to human KNL1 (kinetochore scaffold 1).
