Background
cell division cycle associated 8(CDCA8) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a component of the chromosomal passenger complex. This complex is an essential regulator of mitosis and cell division. This protein is cell-cycle regulated and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle formation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudgenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 7, 8 and 16. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013],
Function
developmental stage:Cell-cycle regulated. Increases during G2/M phase and then reduces after exit from M phase.,function:Component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle assembly. In the complex, it may be required to direct the CPC to centromeric DNA.,miscellaneous:Cells lacking CDCA8 display a slight decrease in histone H3 'Ser-10' phosphorylation, suggesting that the CPC complex mediates phosphorylation of 'Ser-10' of histone H3.,similarity:Belongs to the borealin family.,subcellular location:Localizes on chromosome arms and inner centromeres from prophase through metaphase and then transferring to the spindle midzone and midbody from anaphas
