Condensin complex subunit 2 (NCAPH)

Regulatory subunit of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. The condensin complex probably introduces positive supercoils into relaxed DNA in the presence of type I topoisomerases and converts nicked DNA into positive knotted forms in the presence of type II topoisomerases (PubMed:11136719).

Early in neurogenesis, may play a vital role to ensure accurate mitotic chromosome condensation in neuron stem cells, ultimately impacting neuron pool and cortex size (PubMed:27737959). .
