NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that associates with the centromere-kinetochore complex. The protein is a component of the nuclear matrix during the G2 phase of interphase. In late G2 the protein associates with the kinetochore and maintains this association through early anaphase. It localizes to the spindle midzone and the intracellular bridge in late anaphase and telophase, respectively, and is thought to be subsequently degraded. The localization of this protein suggests that it may play a role in chromosome segregation during mitotis. It is thought to form either a homodimer or heterodimer. Autoantibodies against this protein have been found in patients with cancer or graft versus host disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CENPF: a nuclear matrix protein that assembles onto kinetochores at late G2. Is hyperphosphorylated during mitosis and rapidly degraded after mitosis. Involved in chromosome segregation during mitosis. Interacts with retinoblastoma protein (RB), CENP-E and BUBR1. Two alternatively spliced human isoforms have been described.
