NuMA Proteins and Enzymes

NuMA (nuclear mitotic apparatus) is a long coiled-coil protein that plays a role in the interphase and mitosis phases of a cell cycle. In interphase, it has been hypothesized to play a structural role in the nucleoskeleton that may be important in nuclear organization and functions. During mitosis, it is associated with spindle microtubule organization and chromosome positioning. Therefore, this antibody is useful as a cell cycle marker.
