Centromere Protein A

Preferred Label : Centromere Protein A;

MeSH definition : A 17 kDa, centromeric, poly(ADP)-ribose binding protein that is structurally similar to HISTONE H3 and localizes to NUCLEOSOMES within the CENTROMERE; specifically within the region that binds KINETOCHORES, where it replaces histone H3. It plays a critical role in recruiting kinetochore proteins and progression through MITOSIS, chromosome segregation, and CYTOKINESIS. It also binds sera from patients with some scleroderma-like AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.;

MeSH synonym : CENPA Protein; Centromere Protein 17K; CENP-A Protein; CENP A Protein; Centromere Autoantigens 17K; Autoantigens 17K, Centromere;
