General description

Centromere protein C (UniProt Q03188; also known as CENP-C, CENP-C 1, Centromere autoantigen C, Centromere protein C 1, Interphase centromere complex protein 7) is encoded by the CENPC (also known as CENPC1, ICEN7) gene (Gene ID 1060) in human. Kinetochores assemble on centromeres to bind spindle microtubules and mediate chromosome segregation during cell division. CENP-C is a subunit of constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) that acts as the centromere-kinetochore interface. CCAN is a large complex composed of at least 16 different centromeric proteins (CENPs). CENP-C plays an important role in kinetochore assembly downstream of CENP-A. The PEST domain in the N-terminal half of CENP-C interacts directly with the CCAN subcomplex CENP-HIKM (CENP-H, CENP-K, CENP-I, and CENP-M) and CENP-C depletion is shown to casue mislocalization of CENP-T and the CENP-HIKM complex subunits in HeLa cells.

Specificity

Expected to react with both spliced isoforms of human CENP-C reported by UniProt (Q03188).

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminal.
GST-tagged recombinant human CENP-C N-terminal fragment.
