Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome organization; metaphase chromosome alignment; and spindle assembly. Located in kinetochore; meiotic spindle midzone; and mitotic spindle midzone. Part of chromosome passenger complex. Colocalizes with condensed chromosome and midbody. Orthologous to human INCENP (inner centromere protein).
FB Description
Inner centromere protein (Incenp) encodes a component of the chromosomal passenger complex, acting as a subunit that targets and activates the product of aurB. It controls different processes during cell division, including regulation of chromosome structure, kinetochore-microtubule error correction, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis.
