products description :
Centromere proteins are a group of proteins which form and/or mediate the function of centromeres, the central structures of chromosomes to which spindle fibers/microtubuli attach and pull the chromosomes apart in cell division. Currently, 9 centromere proteins are known and designated CENP-A to CENP-I. Most of the centromere proteins are targets of autoantibodies, the anti-centromere antibodies. CENP-B is the most important of the centromeric autoantigens: it has a molecular weight of approx. 66kD and plays an important role in the formation of the centromeric chromatin. CENP-B antibodies are present in the sera of up to 80% of patients with CREST syndrome. Recombinant Human CENP-B produced in SF9 is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 80kD.

uniprot summary :
CENPB: Interacts with centromeric heterochromatin in chromosomes and binds to a specific subset of alphoid satellite DNA, called the CENP-B box. May organize arrays of centromere satellite DNA into a higher-order structure which then directs centromere formation and kinetochore assembly in mammalian chromosomes. Protein type: DNA-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20p13. Cellular Component: chromosome; nucleus; chromosome, pericentric region. Molecular Function: centromeric DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; satellite DNA binding; chromatin binding. Biological Process: regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
