Symbol: KNSTRN
Full name: kinetochore localized astrin (SPAG5) binding protein
Gene type: protein coding

Also known as: C15orf23; HSD11; ROCHIS; SKAP; TRAF4AF1
Summary: Enables microtubule plus-end binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; mitotic sister chromatid segregation; and regulation of attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and ruffle. Implicated in actinic keratosis and skin squamous cell carcinoma.
