Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome segregation; kinetochore assembly; and mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in chromosome, centromeric region. Predicted to be part of inner kinetochore. Predicted to be active in kinetochore and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human CENPW (centromere protein W). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

CENP-W regulates kinetochore-microtubule attachment and meiotic progression of mouse oocytes.
Title: CENP-W regulates kinetochore-microtubule attachment and meiotic progression of mouse oocytes.
We determined that Poc1a, encoding protein of the centriole 1a, is disrupted by the insertion of a processed Cenpw cDNA, which is flanked by target site duplications, suggestive of a LINE-1 retrotransposon-mediated event

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
