The Cenpu Antibody (PAC016695) is a highly specific polyclonal antibody designed for research involving the centromere protein CENPU. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is capable of recognizing CENPU in human samples and is validated for use in various applications such as Western blotting.CENPU is a key protein involved in the formation and maintenance of centromeres, crucial structures for proper chromosome segregation during cell division. Dysregulation of CENPU has been linked to chromosomal instability and tumorigenesis, making it an important target for cancer research.
With this antibody, researchers can accurately detect and analyze CENPU protein levels in different cell types, providing valuable insights into its role in cell division and potential implications for cancer development. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies in cell biology, oncology, and other fields where understanding centromere function is essential.

Background:
The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient assembly of the kinetochore occurs during mitosis. All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA (MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). MLF1IP, or CENPU, is an additional factor required for centromere assembly.
Synonyms:
centromere protein U
UniProt Protein Function:
CENPU: Component of the CENPA-NAC (nucleosome-associated) complex, a complex that plays a central role in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. The CENPA-NAC complex recruits the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex and may be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA into centromeres. Plays an important role in the correct PLK1 localization to the mitotic kinetochores. A scaffold protein responsible for the initial recruitment and maintenance of the kinetochore PLK1 population until its degradation. Involved in transcriptional repression. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Cell cycle regulationChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q35.1Cellular Component: cytosol; microtubule organizing center; nucleoplasm; nucleusMolecular Function: protein bindingBiological Process: DNA replication-independent nucleosome assembly at centromere; sister chromatid cohesion
