Anti-MEIKIN antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein meiotic kinetochore factor. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 373 amino acid residues and a mass of 40.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the chromosomes. MEIKIN is a reported key regulator of kinetochore function during meiosis I: required both for mono-orientation of kinetochores on sister chromosomes and protection of centromeric cohesin from separase-mediated cleavage. Synonyms for this target antigen include meiosis-specific kinetochore protein. MEIKIN gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, chimpanzee and chicken species. ELISA is a widely used application for the MEIKIN antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
