Ncaph Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in female meiosis chromosome separation; positive regulation of chromosome segregation; and positive regulation of chromosome separation. Acts upstream of or within meiotic chromosome condensation and meiotic chromosome segregation. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of condensin complex. Is active in chromosome and nucleus. Is expressed in blood vessel; brain ventricular layer; meninges; and nephrogenic zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 23. Orthologous to human NCAPH (non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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