Rabbit Anti-FA83D/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Representing about 2% of human DNA, chromosome 20 consists of approximately 63 million bases and 600 genes. Chromosome 20 contains a region with numerous genes expressed in the epididymis which are thought important for seminal production and some viewed as potential targets for male contraception. The PRNP gene encoding the prion protein associated with spongiform encephalopathies, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, is found on chromosome 20. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, ring chromosome 20 epilepsy syndrome and Alagille syndrome are also associated with chromosome 20. The FAM83D gene product has been provisionally designated FAM83D pending further characterization.
Function:
Required for proper chromosome congression and alignment during mitosis. Required for targeting KIF22/KID to the spindle microtubules.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > spindle. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > spindle pole. Primarily cytoplasmic during interphase, but beginning in prophase, associates with spindle microtubules, with a clear concentration toward the spindle poles. It persists on spindle microtubules through metaphase and anaphase.
Similarity:
Belongs to the FAM83 family.
