Spc25

This gene encodes a component of the kinetochore-associated NDC80 protein complex, which is required for the mitotic spindle checkpoint and for microtubule-kinetochore attachment. During meiosis in mouse, the protein localizes to the germinal vesicle and then is associated with the chromosomes following germinal vesicle breakdown. Knockdown of this gene in oocytes results in precocious polar body extrusion, chromosome misalignment and aberrant spindle formation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

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 mouse Spc25 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
