Borealin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDCA8 gene.[1][2][3]

Function

CDCA8 is a component of a chromosomal passenger complex required for stability of the bipolar mitotic spindle (Gassmann et al., 2004).[supplied by OMIM][3]

Interactions

CDCA8 has been shown to interact with INCENP,[4] Survivin[2][4] and Aurora B kinase.[2][4]
