Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within chordate embryonic development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; gonad; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CENPU (centromere protein U).
