Chromosomal Location

Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6AYJ4}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6AYJ4}. Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6AYJ4}. Note=In meiotic chromosomes, localized along axial elements in prophase from the leptotene to diplotene stages. At later prophase stages, diakinesis and metaphase I, localized along interstitial axes of chromosomes including both centromere and arm regions. No longer detected in arm regions in anaphase I but persists on centromere regions until metaphase II. Localised to centromeres and spindle poles in endopolyploid tumor cells {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6AYJ4}

Applications

Dilution

WB--1:1000

Form

Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Function

Required during meiosis for separation of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes. Proteolytic cleavage of REC8 on chromosome arms by separin during anaphase I allows for homologous chromosome separation in meiosis I and cleavage of REC8 on centromeres during anaphase II allows for sister chromatid separation in meiosis II (By similarity) .
