All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA (MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). CENPT is an additional factor required for centromere assembly (Foltz et al., 2006 [PubMed 16622419]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 26.3), testis (RPKM 20.1) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
