Incenp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable molecular function activator activity. Predicted to be involved in meiotic spindle midzone assembly; metaphase chromosome alignment; and mitotic cytokinesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromocenter; nuclear lumen; and pericentric heterochromatin. Predicted to be part of chromosome passenger complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including kinetochore; meiotic spindle midzone; and midbody. Orthologous to human INCENP (inner centromere protein).

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