| Function | Isoform solo and SMC1 function as partners in mediating sister chromatid and centromere cohesion in meiosis. Not required for sister chromatid arm cohesion or for mitotic chromatid segregation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20142422}. |
| Subcellular Location | Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20142422}. Note=Colocalizes with SMC1 to meiotic centromeres from early prophase I until both proteins disappear at anaphase II. Ord is required for stable centromere localization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20142422}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in spermatocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20142422}. |
