Plays a role in transcriptional repression of satellite repeats, possibly by regulating H3K36 methylation levels in centromeric regions together with KDM8 . Possibly together with KDM8, is involved in proper mitotic spindle organization and chromosome segregation . Plays a role in regulating alpha-tubulin deacetylation and cytoskeletal microtubule stability, thereby promoting cell migration and TGF-beta-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), potentially through the inhibition of KDM8 .
Subcellular locations: Chromosome
Colocalizes with trimethylated 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me3).
