This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring APITD1 (apoptosis-inducing, TAF9-like domain 1) and CORT (cortistatin) genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, two of which encode fusion proteins that share sequence identity with the products of each individual gene.

Function:
DNA-binding component of the FA core complex involved in DNA damage repair and genome maintenance. Required for optimal chromatin association of the FA core complex. Required for efficient damage-induced monoubiquitination and focus formation of FANCD2. Stabilizes FAAD24, FANCM and STRA13/CENPX in the FA core complex. Plays a role in DNA interstrand cross-linking (ICL) repair and in recorery of replication forks stalled by topoisomerase I-DNA cleavage intermediates induced by camptothecin. As a component of the APITD1/CENPS complex, is also essential for the stable assembly of the outer kinetchore. Component of the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex, a complex recruited to centromeres which is involved in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus. Chromosome > centromere. Localizes exclusively in the centromeres. The CENPA-CAD complex is probably recruited on centromeres by the CENPA-NAC complex.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed.
Similarity:
Belongs to the TAF9 family.
