NDC80 Gene

NDC80 kinetochore complex component

This gene encodes a component of the NDC80 kinetochore complex. The encoded protein consists of an N-terminal microtubule binding domain and a C-terminal coiled-coiled domain that interacts with other components of the complex. This protein functions to organize and stabilize microtubule-kinetochore interactions and is required for proper chromosome segregation. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

NUF2 Gene

NUF2, NDC80 kinetochore complex component

This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to yeast Nuf2, a component of a conserved protein complex associated with the centromere. Yeast Nuf2 disappears from the centromere during meiotic prophase when centromeres lose their connection to the spindle pole body, and plays a regulatory role in chromosome segregation. The encoded protein is found to be associated with centromeres of mitotic HeLa cells, which suggests that this protein is a functional homolog of yeast Nuf2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SPC25 Gene

SPC25, NDC80 kinetochore complex component

This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in kinetochore-microtubule interaction and spindle checkpoint activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SPC24 Gene

SPC24, NDC80 kinetochore complex component

Predicted to contribute to microtubule binding activity. Involved in attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore. Located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Part of Ndc80 complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
