Cenpe Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including kinetochore binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromosome organization; positive regulation of protein kinase activity; and regulation of chromosome segregation. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of protein stability and spindle assembly involved in female meiosis I. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; midbody; and spindle. Predicted to be part of outer kinetochore. Predicted to be active in microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 13. Orthologous to human CENPE (centromere protein E). [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 rat Cenpe often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
