Rabbit anti-Human JTB Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O76095

Target Species

Human

Target Name

JTB

Target Full Name

Protein JTB

Target Function

Required for normal cytokinesis during mitosis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation. May be a component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle assembly. Increases AURKB activity. Inhibits apoptosis induced by TGFB1. Overexpression induces swelling of mitochondria and reduces mitochondrial membrane potential.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Note=Detected at the centrosome and along spindle fibers during prophase and metaphase. Detected at the midbody during telophase.

Target Protein Families

JTB family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Expressed in all normal human tissues studied but overexpressed or underexpressed in many of their malignant counterparts.

Target Synonyms

JTB; HSPC222; Protein JTB; Jumping translocation breakpoint protein; Prostate androgen-regulated protein; PAR protein

Target Background

Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in mitotic cytokinesis and positive regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in cytoplasm and midbody. Colocalizes with centrosome and spindle.
