Function
function
Essential component of the mitotic spindle required for faithful chromosome segregation and progression into anaphase. Promotes the metaphase-to-anaphase transition and is required for chromosome alignment, normal timing of sister chromatid segregation, and maintenance of spindle pole architecture. The astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex promotes stable microtubule-kinetochore attachments. Required for kinetochore oscillations and dynamics of microtubule plus-ends during live cell mitosis, possibly by forming a link between spindle microtubule plus-ends and mitotic chromosomes to achieve faithful cell division.

GO Annotation
Note: Colocalizes with microtubules around centrosomes in prophase and with the mitotic spindle at prometaphase and metaphase. From late prometaphase to anaphase, is highly concentrated on kinetochores. Located at the kinetochore-microtubule interface. The astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex localizes to the microtubule plus ends.
