Gene Information

human ... CENPA(1058)

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human CENPA

Application

Anti-CENPA antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.25μg/ml and for immunohistochemistry at a concentration of 4-8μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Centromere protein A is encoded by gene CENPA which is a Histone H3-like protein that replaces conventional H3 in the nucleosome core of centromeric chromatin at the inner plate of the kinetochore. It plays a pivotal role in recruiting and assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. It acts as a prognostic marker for distant relapse in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MGPRRRSRKPEAPRRRSPSPTPTPGPSRRGPSLGASSHQHSRRRQGWLKE

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Breast cancer research : BCR, 14(3), R72-R72 (2012-05-09)
Centromere protein A (CENP-A), an essential centromere protein, has been associated with high grade cancers. This study was undertaken to determine if CENP-A is a prognostic factor for breast cancer patients not receiving systemic therapy or predictive of response to
Damien Goutte-Gattat et al.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 110(21), 8579-8584 (2013-05-10)
The role of the mitotic phosphorylation of the amino (NH2) terminus of Centromere Protein A (CENP-A), the histone variant epigenetic centromeric marker, remains elusive. Here, we show that the NH2 terminus of human CENP-A is essential for mitotic progression and
