Background:

Borealin is a 280-amino acid protein that stabilizes the bipolar mitotic spindle. Borealin is part of a complex called Aurora B kinase that has essential regulatory roles at centromeres and the central spindle in cells undergoing mitosis. This complex makes up the enzymatic core of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC). It is possible that the Borealin subunit directs the CPC to centromeric DNA. Deletion of Borealin delays mitotic progression and causes kinetochore-spindle to mis-attach. Deletion also causes an increase in bipolar spindles associated with ectopic asters. These extra poles, which form after chromosomes acquire their bipolar orientation, seriously disrupt chromosome allotment during anaphase.

Specificity:

CDCA8 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of CDCA8 protein.
