About CDCA8

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:37,692,516-37,709,719 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants) and 210 orthologues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 14.3), bone marrow (RPKM 12.4) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a component of the chromosomal passenger complex. This complex is an essential regulator of mitosis and cell division. This protein is cell-cycle regulated and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle formation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudgenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 7, 8 and 16. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
