Anti-CENPV antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein centromere protein V. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 275 amino acid residues and a mass of 29.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus, chromosomes, and cytoplasm. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Gfa protein family, CENPV is known to be required for distribution of pericentromeric heterochromatin in interphase nuclei and for centromere formation and organization, chromosome alignment and cytokinesis. Synonyms for this target antigen include proline rich 6, proline-rich protein 6, and nuclear protein p30. CENPV gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of CENPV antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
