NCAPG2

Also known as CAP-G2, CAPG2, LUZP5, MTB, hCAP-G2, non-SMC condensin II complex subunit G2, 3KS

Condensin-2 complex subunit G2 (CAP-G2) also known as chromosome-associated protein G2 (CAP-G2) or leucine zipper protein 5 (LUZP5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCAPG2 gene. CAP-G2 is a subunit of condensin II, a large protein complex involved in chromosome condensation. It interacts with PLK1 through its C-terminal region during mitosis

NCAPG2

Name: non-SMC condensin II complex subunit G2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: 3KS, CAP-G2, CAPG2, LUZP5, MTB, hCAP-G2

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Condensin2nSMC family of proteins. The encoded protein is a regulatory subunit of the condensin II complex which, along with the condensin I complex, plays a role in chromosome assembly and segregation during mitosis. A similar protein in mouse is required for early development of the embryo. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013].
