UniProt functional annotation for Q8NI77

UniProt code: Q8NI77.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Microtubule-depolymerizing kinesin which plays a role in chromosome congression by reducing the amplitude of preanaphase oscillations and slowing poleward movement during anaphase, thus suppressing chromosome movements. May stabilize the CENPE-BUB1B complex at the kinetochores during early mitosis and maintains CENPE levels at kinetochores during chromosome congression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17346968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18267093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18513970, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625775}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with CENPE and ESR1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17006958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625775, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19636373}.
