Official Full Name: NSL1 component of MIS12 kinetochore complex<br />Also known as: DC8; MIS14; C1orf48<br />The gene encodes a protein with two coiled domains that localize to centromeres, chromosome-associated structures that attach to microtubules and mediate chromosome movement during cell division. The encoded protein is part of a conserved protein complex that includes two chromodomain-containing proteins and a component of the kinetochore outer plate. This protein complex is thought to act as a bridge connecting centromere heterochromatin and outer centromere structures. Multiple transcript variants of this gene have been found encoding different isoforms. The 3'UTR region of this gene has a pseudogene on the X chromosome.
