Official Full Name: BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase
Also known as: BUB1A; BUB1L; hBUB1; MCPH30
This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a central role in mitosis. The encoded protein functions in part to phosphorylate members of the mitotic checkpoint complex and activate the spindle checkpoint. The protein also plays a role in repressing activation of the anaphase promoting complex/ring body. The protein may also play a role in the DNA damage response. Mutations in this gene are associated with aneuploidy and several forms of cancer. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants
