The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000143442 (POGZ, pogo transposable element derived with ZNF domain) is as follows. Plays a role in mitotic cell cycle progression and is involved in kinetochore assembly and mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. Probably through its association with CBX5 plays a role in mitotic chromosome segregation by regulating aurora kinase B/AURKB activation and AURKB and CBX5 dissociation from chromosome arms (PubMed:20562864). Promotes the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through the homologous recombination pathway (PubMed:26721387). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20562864, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26721387}.
