During meiosis, protects centromeric cohesion complexes until metaphase II/anaphase II transition, preventing premature release of meiosis-specific REC8 cohesin complexes from anaphase I centromeres. Is thus vital for an accurate gametogenesis.

Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. During meiosis I, accumulates at centromeres during diplotene, and colocalizes differentially with the cohesin subunits RAD21 and REC8 at metaphase I centromeres (By similarity). SGO2 and RAD21 change their relative distributions during telophase I when sister-kinetochore association is lost (By similarity). During meiosis II, it shows a striking tension-dependent redistribution within centromeres throughout chromosome congression during prometaphase II, as it does during mitosis (By similarity). In Hela cells, localizes at
