Function
Centromeric protein that plays a central role in the incorporation and maintenance of histone H3-like variant CENPA at centromeres. Acts as a specific chaperone for CENPA and is required for the incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA molecules into nucleosomes at replicated centromeres. Prevents CENPA-H4 tetramerization and prevents premature DNA binding by the CENPA-H4 tetramer.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus, nucleolus; Chromosome, centromere
Tissue Specificity: According to PubMed:17256767, highly expressed in the thymus with lower levels in the placenta, small intestine, liver, skeletal muscle, and colon. According to PubMed:17823411, highly expressed in testis, and at a relatively lower level in thymus and bone marrow. Significantly overexpressed in many lung cancer samples, compared with normal lung
