The SKA1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC05732) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the SKA1 protein, which is involved in cell division and plays a crucial role in maintaining chromosomal stability. This antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly specific to human SKA1 samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications.SKA1, also known as spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 1, is essential for proper chromosome segregation during cell division. Dysregulation of SKA1 has been linked to genetic instability and cancer development, making it a key target for cancer research studies.
By using the SKA1 Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can detect and analyze levels of SKA1 in various cell types, allowing for a better understanding of its function in cell division and its potential implications in cancer biology. This antibody is a valuable tool for further elucidating the role of SKA1 in chromosomal stability and identifying potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

IHC image of PACO57372 diluted at 1:200 and staining in paraffin-embedded human lymph node tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Background:
Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. Required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint. The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerization-coupled manner. Affinity for microtubules is synergistically enhanced in the presence of the ndc-80 complex and may allow the ndc-80 complex to track depolymerizing microtubules. In the complex, it mediates the interaction with microtubules.
