SKA2 Antibody (N-term) [APR30996G]

SKA2 Antibody (N-term) [APR30996G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This SKA2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 9-37 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human SKA2.

Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes to the outer kinetochore and spindle microtubules during mitosis in a NDC80 complex-dependent manner. Localizes to both the mitotic spindle and kinetochore- associated proteins.

Molecular Weight: 14188

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: SKA2

Gene ID: 348235

Function: Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation (PubMed:17093495, PubMed:19289083, PubMed:23085020) . Required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint (PubMed:17093495) . The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies (PubMed:19289083) . The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerization- coupled manner (PubMed:17093495, PubMed:19289083) . In the complex, it is required for SKA1 localization (PubMed:19289083) . Affinity for microtubules is synergistically enhanced in the presence of the ndc-80 complex and may allow the ndc-80 complex to track depolymerizing microtubules (PubMed:23085020) .

Summary: N/A

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
