MIS18A
Description
The MIS18A (MIS18 kinetochore protein A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 21.
MIS18A is a gene in humans that codes for the protein Mis18-alpha. This protein is involved in the process of cell division, specifically in ensuring that chromosomes are correctly separated. You can find more information about the gene and its location on the UCSC Genome Browser.
MIS18A plays a crucial role in the correct placement of CENPA, a protein essential for building the centromere, which is the region where chromosomes attach during cell division. This ensures that chromosomes are accurately separated during mitosis, preventing errors in cell division.
MIS18A is also known as B28, C21orf45, C21orf46, FASP1, MIS18alpha, hMis18alpha.
