General description

Mad2, also known as MAD2, MAD2L1, or Mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD2A, is a mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint protein. The spindle checkpoint makes sure that all the chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate before anaphase begins which means that all chromosomes are attached to the spindle before anaphase can start. The spindle checkpoint becomes triggered when the chromosome(s) are unaligned. Mad2 then binds to the anaphase promoting complex (APC) and CDC20. This complex prevents the cell from transitioning into anaphase and ultimately from cell death or disease.

Immunogen

His-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Mad2.

Application

Anti-Mad2 Antibody, clone AS55-A12 is a highly specific mouse monoclonal antibody, that targets MAD2 & has been tested in western blotting & Immunofluorescence.

Chromosomal instability (CIN), the process of increased chromosomal alterations, compromises genomic integrity and has profound consequences on human health. Yet, our understanding of the molecular and mechanistic basis of CIN initiation remains limited. We developed a high-throughput, single-cell, image-based pipeline

The multisubunit ubiquitin ligase APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome) is essential for mitosis by promoting timely degradation of cyclin B1. APC/C is tightly regulated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which involves MPS1 and MAD2-dependent temporal inhibition of APC/C. We analyzed the
