It represents a histone H3 variant with an approximate mass of 17 kDa. This protein is expressed at the centromere regions of chromosomes where it substitutes conventional histone H3. CENPA facilitates the assembly of the kinetochore an important structure for chromosome segregation. Scientists also refer to this protein as CENP-A often in conjunction with studies involving anti-centromere antibodies and centromere staining.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCENPA plays a central role in accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. It incorporates into nucleosomes at the centromere replacing standard histone H3 to promote kinetochore formation. CENPA is part of a larger protein complex known as the centromere. This complex propelled by CENPA drives proper attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules preventing aneuploidy.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kinetochore pathway and the chromosome segregation pathway both involve CENPA significantly. It functions in tandem with other centromeric proteins such as CENP-B and CENP-C which work collaboratively to sustain centromere integrity. CENPA interacts with these proteins to orchestrate correct alignment and separation of chromosomes integrating it into the foundational architecture of genetic stability.\u003cbr\u003e\nCENPA has association with several chromosomal instability syndromes. Misregulation or mutation of this protein may contribute to cancer progression where improper chromosome segregation is an important factor. It also connects to other proteins like CENP-H implicated in malignancies due to errors in chromosome transmission. Additionally autoimmune diseases often involve centromere antibodies highlighting the connection of CENPA to disorders such as systemic sclerosis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850236580009,"sku":"ab45694","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab45694","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
