Summary: Predicted to enable histone binding activity. Involved in mitotic chromosome condensation. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Part of condensin complex. Colocalizes with condensed chromosome, centromeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including antennal primordium; cardiogenic mesoderm; central brain primordium; ganglia; and sensory nervous system primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly. Orthologous to human NCAPD2 (non-SMC condensin I complex subunit D2).
