MKI67 (also Ki67) is a 350-400 kDa nuclear protein that belongs to a molecular group comprised of mitotic chromosome-associated proteins. Ki67 was originally recognized as an antigen associated with the monoclonal Ki67 antibody raised against Hodgkin's lymphoma nuclear material. Ki67 is contextually expressed, being potentially found in all cells that are not in the Go phase of the cell cycle. Thus, MKI67 qualifies as a cell proliferation marker. Functionally, Ki67 is known to interact with 160 kDa Hklp2, a protein that promotes centrosome separation and spindle bipolarity. It also directly interacts with NIFK, and apparently binds to UBF, thus playing a role in rRNA synthesis. Human MKI67 is 3256 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one FHA domain (aa 8-98), followed by at least 24 utilized Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites and sixteen 120 aa repeats (aa 1000-2928) that are interspersed with at least 90 additional utilized phosphorylation sites. There are two potential isoform variants. One isoform is 315-345 kDa in size and shows a deletion of aa 136-495, while a second isoform contains a 58 aa substitution for aa 1-513. Over aa 3120-3256, human Ki67 shares 46% aa sequence identity with the mouse ortholog to Ki67.

Scientific Data Images for Human Ki67/MKI67 Antibody
Ki67/MKI67 in A549 Human Cell Line.
Ki67/MKI67 was detected in immersion fixed A549 human lung carcinoma cell line using Sheep Anti-Human Ki67/MKI67 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF7617) at 5 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the Northern-Lights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to nuclei and nucleoli. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.Ki67/MKI67 in Human Breast Cancer Tissue.
Ki67/MKI67 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Sheep Anti-Human Ki67/MKI67 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF7617) at 1 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the nuclei of epithelial cells.
