NCBI Description

Centromeres are the differentiated chromosomal domains that specify the mitotic behavior of chromosomes. CENPA encodes a centromere protein which contains a histone H3 related histone fold domain that is required for targeting to the centromere. CENPA is proposed to be a component of a modified nucleosome or nucleosome-like structure in which it replaces 1 or both copies of conventional histone H3 in the (H3-H4)2 tetrameric core of the nucleosome particle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

CENPA: a basic nuclear protein of the histone H3 family. May act as a core histone necessary for the assembly of centromeres. Contains a histone H3 related histone fold domain that is required for targeting to the centromere. CENPA is proposed to be a component of a modified nucleosome or nucleosome-like structure in which it replaces 1 or both copies of conventional histone H3 in the (H3-H4)2 tetrameric core of the nucleosome particle.

Protein type: DNA-binding

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p23.3

Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; inner kinetochore of condensed chromosome; nucleosome; cytosol; nucleus; chromosome, pericentric region; condensed nuclear chromosome, pericentric region

Molecular Function: protein binding; DNA binding; protein heterodimerization activity; chromatin binding

Product Notes

The CENP-A cenpa (Catalog #AAA6468604) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CENP-A (Centromere Protein A) (MaxLight 405) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CENP-A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunoblot (IB). IB: 1:200-1:1000 detected CENP-An in RIPA lysates from HeLa acid extracted histones. 20ug control histones, were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with 2ug/ml anti-CENP-A. Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CENP-A cenpa for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CENP-A, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
