The SKA2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC059253) is a valuable tool for researchers studying SKA2, a protein involved in mitosis and cell division. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to SKA2, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of the protein in various cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies in cell biology and cancer research.SKA2, also known as spindle and kinetochore-associated complex subunit 2, plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during cell division.
Dysregulation of SKA2 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention. By understanding the function of SKA2, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying cell division and potentially develop new strategies for treating cancer and other related conditions.

IHC image of PACO59253 diluted at 1:400 and staining in paraffin-embedded human skeletal muscle tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.

Background:
Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. Required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint. The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerization-coupled manner. In the complex, it is required for SKA1 localization. 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.
