'''Kinetochore protein Nuf2''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''NUF2'' [[gene]].<ref name="pmid11266451">{{cite journal | vauthors = Wigge PA, Kilmartin JV | title = The Ndc80p complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains conserved centromere components and has a function in chromosome segregation | journal = J Cell Biol | volume = 152 | issue = 2 | pages = 349–60 |date=Mar 2001 | pmid = 11266451 | pmc = 2199619 | doi =10.1083/jcb.152.2.349  }}</ref><ref name="pmid11685532">{{cite journal | vauthors = Nabetani A, Koujin T, Tsutsumi C, Haraguchi T, Hiraoka Y | title = A conserved protein, Nuf2, is implicated in connecting the centromere to the spindle during chromosome segregation: a link between the kinetochore function and the spindle checkpoint | journal = Chromosoma | volume = 110 | issue = 5 | pages = 322–34 |date=Oct 2001 | pmid = 11685532 | doi = 10.1007/s004120100153 | s2cid = 22443613 }}</ref><ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: NUF2 NUF2, NDC80 kinetochore complex component, homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=83540}}</ref>
This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to yeast Nuf2, a component of a conserved protein complex associated with the [[centromere]]. Yeast Nuf2 disappears from the centromere during [[Meiosis|meiotic]] prophase when centromeres lose their connection to the spindle pole body, and plays a regulatory role in [[chromosome segregation]].
The encoded protein is found to be associated with centromeres of [[Mitosis|mitotic]] HeLa cells, which suggests that this protein is a functional [[Homology (biology)|homolog]] of yeast Nuf2. Alternatively spliced [[Alternative splicing|transcript variants]] that encode the same protein have been described.<ref name="entrez" />
