Protein
Chromosome segregation and cytokinesis defective protein 1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis during mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation. In the complex, it may be required to direct the Aurora B/air-2 to centromeric DNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the borealin family. Highly divergent.
