NCAPH2 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes one of the non-SMC subunits of the condensin II complex. This complex plays an essential role in mitotic chromosome assembly. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human NCAPH2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Condensin II complex subunit CAP-H2 or CNDH2, mid domain
- protein binding
- Condensin II complex subunit CAP-H2 or CNDH2, N-terminal
- Condensin II complex subunit CAP-H2 or CNDH2, C-term
