Human Centromere Protein I, CENPI ELI

Component of the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex, a complex recruited to centromeres which is involved in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation.

May be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA into centromeres via its interaction with the CENPA-NAC complex.

Required for the localization of CENPF, MAD1L1 and MAD2 (MAD2L1 or MAD2L2) to kinetochores.

Involved in the response of gonadal tissues to follicle-stimulating hormone.
