Protein ELYS (AHCTF1)

Required for the assembly of a functional nuclear pore complex (NPC) on the surface of chromosomes as nuclei form at the end of mitosis. May initiate NPC assembly by binding to chromatin and recruitment the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the NPC.

Also required for the localization of this Nup107-160 subcomplex of the NPC to the kinetochore during mitosis and for the completion of cytokinesis. .
