General description
17kDa
CENP-A is a variant version of histone H3 found only at centromeres.
Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a 17 kDa centromere-specific histone variant with 62% amino acids homology to the C-terminal of histone H3. Localized in the centromere, it plays a central role in the centromere-specific chromatin formation. The depletion of histone H3 at the CENP-A binding domain suggests CENP-A to be a possible replacement for histone H3 in the packaging process of α-satellite DNA into primary chromation structure. CENP-A is essential in the formation of specialized nucleosomes at the centromere, implicating CENP-A as a centromere-specific epigenetic marker.
Immunogen
peptide (RRRSRKPEAPRRRS) corresponding to amino acids 4-17 of human CENP-A
Application
Anti-CENP-A Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody for detection of CENP-A also known as Centromere autoantigen A & has been tested in WB.

Telomeric repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1) is a component of the multiprotein complex "shelterin," which organizes the telomere into a high-order structure. TRF1 knockout embryos suffer from severe growth defects without apparent telomere dysfunction, suggesting an obligatory role for TRF1

Restricting the localization of the evolutionarily conserved centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A to centromeres prevents chromosomal instability (CIN). The mislocalization of CENP-A to non-centromeric regions contributes to CIN in yeasts, flies and human cells. Even though overexpression and mislocalization of

Centromeric transcription has been shown to play an important role in centromere functions. However, lack of approaches to specifically manipulate centromeric transcription calls into question that the proposed functions are a direct consequence of centromeric transcription.
