Anti-Human CENPE Polyclonal Antibody (ARO-A11656)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

Centromere-associated protein E (CENPE) is a ~316 kDa protein. Microtubule plus-end-directed kinetochore motor which plays an important role in chromosome congression, microtubule-kinetochore conjugation and spindle assembly checkpoint activation. Drives chromosome congression (alignment of chromosomes at the spindle equator resulting in the formation of the metaphase plate) by mediating the lateral sliding of polar chromosomes along spindle microtubules towards the spindle equator and by aiding the establishment and maintenance of connections between kinetochores and spindle microtubules. The transport of pole-proximal chromosomes towards the spindle equator is favored by microtubule tracks that are detyrosinated. Acts as a processive bi-directional tracker of dynamic microtubule tips; after chromosomes have congressed, continues to play an active role at kinetochores, enhancing their links with dynamic microtubule ends. Suppresses chromosome congression in NDC80-depleted cells and contributes positively to congression only when microtubules are stabilized.
