SMC4 structural maintenance of chromosomes 4

Gene ID: 10051, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CAPC; CAP-C; SMC-4; SMC4L1

Summary

This gene belongs to the 'structural maintenance of chromosomes' (SMC) gene family. Members of this gene family play a role in two changes in chromosome structure during mitotic segregation of chromosomes- chromosome condensation and sister chromatid cohesion. The protein encoded by this gene is likely a subunit of the 13S condensin complex, which is involved in chromosome condensation. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 2.
