About CENPU

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 169 orthologues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 44.2), bone marrow (RPKM 27.7) and 10 other tissues.

Summary

The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient assembly of the kinetochore occurs during mitosis. All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA (MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). MLF1IP, or CENPU, is an additional factor required for centromere assembly (Foltz et al., 2006 [PubMed 16622419]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
