Этот ген кодирует киназу, являющуюся ключевым звеном контрольной точки сборки веретена деления в митозе. Белок локализован в кинетохорах и играет важную роль в ингибировании комплекса стимуляции анафазы, задерживая начало анафазы и обеспечивая надлежащую сегрегацию хромосом. Функция этой протеинкиназы нарушена при многих формах рака.[2]
