Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

Ki67 is a nuclear protein often referred to as MKI67 with a molecular weight of approximately 345 kDa. This protein is strongly associated with cell proliferation. Scientists commonly use Ki67 staining techniques to identify and quantify proliferating cells in tissues. Ki67 is expressed in the nucleus during active cell cycle phases—G1 S G2 and M—but not in resting cells in G0 phase. It is detectable through methods such as Ki67 immunofluorescence and Ki67 flow cytometry which are important for analyzing cell division.
The Ki67 protein plays an essential role in cellular proliferation processes. It does not form part of a stable complex but interacts transiently with other cell cycle-related proteins. Research indicates that Ki67 maintains the structure of the perichromosomal layer during mitosis impacting chromosome separation. It is particularly active in tissues with high cell turnover such as bone marrow and lymphoid organs.
Ki67 influences several key cellular pathways that control cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein acts within the regulation of the cell cycle and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway important for cell growth and survival. Within these pathways Ki67 interacts with proteins like cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) which regulate transitions between different phases of the cell cycle.
Ki67 has significant implications in oncology and can be used as a biomarker for cancer prognosis. Its expression levels help determine the aggressiveness of tumors especially in breast cancer and prostate cancer. High Ki67 levels correlate with poor prognosis as it indicates rapid cell division. In cancer Ki67 associates with p53 a protein that regulates the cell cycle and function as a tumor suppressor.

Comparison between RNApII-S2P-/low cells and Ki-67- cells
a: Regulation of Ki-67 and RNApII-S2P during proliferation and quiescence in T98G glioblastoma cells. T98G cells were grown in culture medium containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), were induced to become quiescent by serum starvation in medium supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) FBS for 14 days, and then were re-stimulated by being split 1:5 into new medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS and cultured for 3 days. The cells were detached from dishes with trypsin-EDTA solution, fixed in 10% (v/v) neutral buffered formalin, and centrifuged. Paraffin sections of the pellet were cut, and expression of Ki-67 and RNApII-S2P was examined by single (brown; a1, a2, a4, a5, a7, a8) or double immunostaining (Ki-67, brown; RNApII-S2P, red; a3, a6, a9). Hematoxylin (blue) was used as a nuclear stain. Ki-67- RNApII-S2P-/low cells (blue cells in the double stained sections) emerged only in the quiescent condition (a6, arrows). Scale bar, 10 μm. b: Single-color immunostaining for Ki-67 (b1) and RNApII-S2P (b2) in serial sections of glioblastoma tissue. Ki-67- tumor cells were frequently found, whereas only a few RNApII-S2P-/low cells (arrows) were observed around necrotic area. N, necrotic area; V, blood vessels. Scale bars, 50 μm.
Ki67 detected using ab92742.
