Gene: NCAPG

Alternate names for this Gene: CAPG|CHCG|NY-MEL-3|YCG1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the condensin complex, which is responsible for the condensation and stabilization of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Phosphorylation of the encoded protein activates the condensin complex. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 8 and 15. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4p15.31

Description of this Gene: non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G

Type of Gene: protein-coding
