MIS18BP1

MIS18 binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIS18BP1 gene. The gene is also known as LKNL2, M18BP1, C14orf106, and HSA242977. M18BP1 protein is an important component in the CENPA deposition pathway, and in most eukaryotes M18BP1 is necessary for chromosome segregation.
