Contributes to microtubule binding activity. Involved in chromosome segregation. Located in kinetochore; spindle microtubule; and spindle pole body. Part of Ndc80 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human NUF2 (NUF2 component of NDC80 kinetochore complex).
SGD Description
Component of the kinetochore-associated Ndc80 complex; involved in chromosome segregation, spindle checkpoint activity, and kinetochore clustering; evolutionarily conserved; other members include Ndc80p, Nuf2p, Spc24p, and Spc25p
