Gene: KNTC1

Alternate names for this Gene: ROD

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is one of many involved in mechanisms to ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division. Experimental evidence indicated that the encoded protein functioned in a similar manner to that of the Drosophila rough deal protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q24.31

Description of this Gene: kinetochore associated 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
