Craniofacial development protein 1 (UniProt: Q9UEE9, also known as Bucentaur) is encoded by the CFDP1 (also known as BCNT, CENP-29) gene (Gene ID: 10428) in human. Craniofacial development protein 1 is an evolutionarily conserved member of the Bucentaur (BCNT) family of proteins and displays ubiquitous expression. It contains a BCNT domain of about 80 amino acids in the C-terminal region. Two isoforms of craniofacial development protein 1 are reported that are generated by alternative splicing. It is reported to play a role in embryogenesis and is considered as essential for chromatin/chromosome organization and function. A unique feature of this protein is that it lacks cysteine residues and has an acidic N-terminal region and a lysine/glutamic acid/proline-rich region of 40 amino acids. It also has seven serine phosphorylation sites and Ser250 in the BCNT region is shown to be heavily phosphorylated. (Ref.: Messina, G., et al. (2015). Chromosoma 124(2):153 162, Iwashita, S et al.
