Function

Required for kinetochore function and chromosome segregation in mitosis. Required for kinetochore localization of dynein, LIS1, NDE1 and NDEL1. Regulates recycling of the plasma membrane by acting as a link between recycling vesicles and the microtubule network though its association with STX4 and SNAP25. Acts as a potential inhibitor of pocket protein-mediated cellular processes during development by regulating the activity of RB proteins during cell division and proliferation. May play a regulatory or permissive role in the normal embryonic cardiomyocyte cell cycle and in promoting continued mitosis in transformed, abnormally dividing neonatal cardiomyocytes. Interaction with RB directs embryonic stem cells toward a cardiac lineage. Involved in the regulation of DNA synthesis and hence cell cycle progression, via its C-terminus. Has a potential role regulating skeletal myogenesis and in cell differentiation in embryogenesis. Involved in dendritic cell regulation of T-cell immunity against chlamydia.

Notes

ab251579 is the carrier-free version of Anti-CENPF antibody [EPR20406] ab223847.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

CENPF also known as centromere protein F or mitosin is a significant kinetochore-associated protein. It has a molecular mass of approximately 367 kDa. Expressed chiefly in the nucleus CENPF displays elevated levels during cell division particularly mitosis. The protein accumulates at the nuclear matrix during the G2 phase of the cell cycle and moves to the kinetochores in mitosis highlighting its role in cell cycle regulation.

Biological function summary

It plays a role in chromosome segregation and spindle attachment during cell division. CENPF associates with various cellular complexes including the nuclear matrix and kinetochores. Its function is critical to maintaining stability and proper chromosome movement during mitosis. This involvement ensures accurate chromosomal alignment and segregation preventing genomic instability in daughter cells.

Pathways

CENPF plays an essential role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle and chromosomal dynamics. The protein interfaces with several elements in pathways like the spindle assembly checkpoint. It interacts notably with proteins such as CENP-E and other kinetochore constituents. These interactions safeguard the precise attachment of microtubules to the kinetochores facilitating proper cell cycle progression and division.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in CENPF expression and function have been linked to cancer and congenital heart defects. Dysregulation of CENPF can lead to chromosomal instability a known hallmark of many cancers. Additionally its interactions with proteins like CENP-E and Bub1 further relate to its involvement in the proper execution of cell cycle checkpoints. Such associations make CENPF a potential target for therapeutic interventions in related disorders.
