About CENPN

Cytogenetic location: 16q23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:81,007,214-81,033,107 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants) and 212 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in prostate (RPKM 4.4), bone marrow (RPKM 3.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene forms part of the nucleosome-associated complex and is important for kinetochore assembly. It is bound to kinetochores during S phase and G2 and recruits other proteins to the centromere. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosome 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
