Nuf2 Products

Nuf2, also known as Kinetochore protein Nuf2, is a 54 kDa 464 amino acid protein, and it is involved in chromosome segregation, specifically as it relates to spindle checkpoint activity with the kinetochore-associated NDC80 complex. This protein is necessary for kinetochore stability and organization of microtubule binding sites on the outer plate, forming interactions with NDC80/HEC-1-CDCA1, SPBC24-SPBC25, Bub1, EXOC1, as well as AURKB/Aurora-B and CENPE in the mitotic prometaphase, DNA replication, and Cell Cycle pathways. Current research is being performed on this proteins involvement in gastric, lung, and breast cancers, in addition to essential hypertension, schizophrenia, and duodenogastric reflux.
