Rabbit Anti-Tex14/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
TEX14 is a 1,497 amino acid protein that belongs to the protein kinase superfamily and is expressed in testis. The gene encoding TEX14 is located on chromosome 17 and is required for spermatogenesis and normal structure of the intercellular bridge that connects spermatocytes and spermatogonia. TEX14 co-localizes with the centralspindlin complex, MKLP-1 (mitotic kinesin-like protein 1) and male germ cell Rac GTPase (Rac GTPase-activating protein) and converts these midbody matrix proteins into stable intercellular bridge components. TEX14 contains 3 ANK repeats and 1 protein kinase domain. Three isoforms exist due to alternative splicing events.
Function:
Testis-expressed gene 14 (TEX14) is a novel protein that localizes to germ cell intercellular bridges. In the absence of TEX14, intercellular bridges are not observed. Spermatogenesis in Tex14–/– mice progresses through the transit amplification of diploid spermatogonia and the expression of early meiotic markers but halts before the completion of the first meiotic division.
Subunit:
Interacts with KIF23 and RBM44. Interacts with CEP55; inhibiting interaction between CEP55 and PDCD6IP/ALIX and TSG101
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Midbody. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Detected in the intercellular bridges that connect male germ cell daughter cells after cell division.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected in testis.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated on Thr residues by CDK1 during early phases of mitosis, promoting the interaction with PLK1 and recruitment to kinetochores. Phosphorylated on Ser-437 by PLK1 during late prometaphase promotes the rapid depletion from kinetochores and its subsequent degradation by the APC/C complex.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.
Contains 3 ANK repeats.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
