Rabbit anti-Human CENPU Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q71F23

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CENPU

Target Full Name

Centromere protein U

Target Function

Component of the CENPA-NAC (nucleosome-associated) complex, a complex that plays a central role in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. The CENPA-NAC complex recruits the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex and may be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA into centromeres. Plays an important role in the correct PLK1 localization to the mitotic kinetochores. A scaffold protein responsible for the initial recruitment and maintenance of the kinetochore PLK1 population until its degradation. Involved in transcriptional repression.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes in the kinetochore domain of centromeres. Colocalizes with PLK1 at the interzone between the inner and the outer kinetochore plates.

Target Protein Families

CENP-U/AME1 family

Target Tissue Specificity
