Centromere protein E
Introduction
Centromere-associated protein E is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPE gene.[1][2]
Centromere-associated protein E is a kinesin-like motor protein that accumulates in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Unlike other centromere-associated proteins, it is not present during interphase and first appears at the centromere region of chromosomes during prometaphase. CENPE is proposed to be one of the motors responsible for mammalian chromosome movement and/or spindle elongation.[2]
