Predicted to enable protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within metaphase/anaphase transition of mitotic cell cycle and protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region. Located in kinetochore. Part of outer kinetochore. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome 1. Orthologous to human BUB1B (BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
