About CENPW

Cytogenetic location: 6q22.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:126,340,115-126,483,320 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants) and 124 orthologues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 2.8), testis (RPKM 2.0) and 20 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in chromosome segregation; kinetochore assembly; and mitotic cell cycle. Located in kinetochore and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
