Anti-CIT Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase that functions in cell division. Together with the kinesin KIF14, this protein localizes to the central spindle and midbody, and functions to promote efficient cytokinesis. This protein is involved in central nervous system development. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with bipolar disorder and risk for schizophrenia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human CIT recombinant protein (Position: Q470-H1505) . Human CIT shares 95.2% and 94.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CIT, respectively.
