About CENPK

Cytogenetic location: 5q12.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:65,495,624-65,563,168 (from NCBI)

This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants) and 197 orthologues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 1.8), bone marrow (RPKM 1.7) and 19 other tissues.

Summary

CENPK is a subunit of a CENPH (MIM 605607)-CENPI (MIM 300065)-associated centromeric complex that targets CENPA (MIM 117139) to centromeres and is required for proper kinetochore function and mitotic progression (Okada et al., 2006 [PubMed 16622420]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
