Rabbit Anti-CENP-I (Centromere Protein I, CENP-I, FSH Primary Response Protein 1, Follicle-stimulating Hormone Primary Response Protein, Interphase Centromere Complex Protein 19)
Kinetochores are mitotic structures that form on centromeres and attach to mitotic spindle microtubules. Kinetochore attachment to microtubules regulates chromosome segregation and progression through mitosis. Unattached kinetochores signal to the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) machinery, arresting cells in mitosis (1).
CENP-I is a centromere protein associated with the inner kinetochore, and required for progression through mitosis and the appropriate localization of other kinetochore-associated and checkpoint proteins, including CENP-C, the RZZ complex, MAD1 and MAD2 (2-4).
