Rabbit anti-Human CASC5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q8NG31

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KNL1

Target Full Name

Outer kinetochore KNL1 complex subunit KNL1

Target Function

Performs two crucial functions during mitosis: it is essential for spindle-assembly checkpoint signaling and for correct chromosome alignment. Required for attachment of the kinetochores to the spindle microtubules. Directly links BUB1 and BUB1B to kinetochores. Part of the MIS12 complex, which may be fundamental for kinetochore formation and proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. Acts in coordination with CENPK to recruit the NDC80 complex to the outer kinetochore.

Target Involvement

Microcephaly 4, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH4)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Weakly expressed in interphase nuclei. Expression increases from prophase to late anaphase, but greatly diminishes from the telophase and cytokinesis to early G1 phase of cell cycle.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in testis, where it is localized in germ cells, in particular in spermatocytes and in the pre-acrosome of round spermatids. Detected in the acrosome of ejaculated spermatozoa. Detected in adult thymus, bone marrow, colon, small intestine,
