Anti-BUB1 Antibody Picoband®

BUB1, also known as mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BUB1 gene. It is mapped to 2q13. BUB1 is first identified in genetic screens of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein is bound to kinetochores and plays a key role in the establishment of the mitotic spindle checkpoint and chromosome congression. The mitotic checkpoint kinase is evolutionary conserved in organisms as diverse as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans. Loss-of-function mutations or absence of BUB1 has been reported to result in aneuploidy, chromosomal instability (CIN) and premature senescence. The protein kinase BUB1 possesses versatile and distinct functions during the cell cycle, mainly in the SAC and chromosome alignment during metaphase.
