Histone H3-like centromeric protein A, Centromere autoantigen A, Centromere protein A, CENP-A, CENPA
Product description
Centromeres are the differentiated chromosomal domains
that specify the mitotic behavior of chromosomes. CENPA encodes a
centromere protein which contains a histone H3 related histone fold
domain that is required for targeting to the centromere. CENPA is
proposed to be a component of a modified nucleosome or
nucleosome-like structure in which it replaces 1 or both copies of
conventional histone H3 in the (H3-H4)2 tetrameric core of the
nucleosome particle. Alternative splicing results in multiple
transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by
