Description

Description: Centromeres are the differentiated chromosomal domains that specify the mitotic behavior of chromosomes. This gene encodes a centromere protein which contains a histone H3 related histone fold domain that is required for targeting to the centromere. Centromere protein A is proposed to be a component of a modified nucleosome or nucleosome-like structure in which it replaces 1 or both copies of conventional histone H3 in the (H3-H4)2 tetrameric core of the nucleosome particle. The protein is a replication-independent histone that is a member of the histone H3 family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Application Notes

ICC: Use at a concentration of 10 µg/ml. IHC: Use at a concentration of 5 µg/ml. For paraffin embedded sections, heat treatment may be necessary. Microwave sections 2 times for 10 minutes each in citrate buffer (pH 6.5). WB: Use at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 18 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 16 kDa). Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. User review: This antibody is great for immunofluorescence on human cells (primary fibroblasts and transformed cell lines such as HeLa, HT1080, A549, H1299). Works well with various fixation conditions, including 1-4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), -20C methanol, 2% PFA followed by -20C methanol, and on unfixed preparations. We routinely use it at a dilution of 1:200-1:400.

Storage Note

Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
