Function |
Component of the centralspindlin complex that serves as a microtubule-dependent and Rho-mediated signaling required for the myosin contractile ring formation during the cell cycle cytokinesis. Essential for cytokinesis in Rho-mediated signaling. Required for the localization of ECT2 to the central spindle. Plus-end-directed motor enzyme that moves antiparallel microtubules in vitro. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16103226, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16236794, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22522702}.

Subcellular Location |
Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Midbody. Note=Localizes to the interzone of mitotic spindles. Detected at the midbody during later stages of mitotic cytokinesis.
