Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: WD40-repeat-containing domain superfamily; Rough deal protein C-terminal region; and RZZ complex, subunit KNTC1/ROD, C-terminal. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
rod-1. In C. elegans,
rod-1 is involved in several processes, including chromosome organization; positive regulation of kinetochore assembly; and regulation of cell cycle process.
