Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

Outer kinetochore KNL1 complex subunit KNL1 (p-KNL1/CASC5) is a ~265 kDa protein. Acts as a component of the outer kinetochore KNL1 complex that serves as a docking point for spindle assembly checkpoint components and mediates microtubule-kinetochore interactions. Kinetochores, consisting of a centromere-associated inner segment and a microtubule-contacting outer segment, play a crucial role in chromosome segregation by mediating the physical connection between centromeric DNA and spindle microtubules. The outer kinetochore is made up of the ten-subunit KMN network, comprising the MIS12, NDC80 and KNL1 complexes, and auxiliary microtubule-associated components; together they connect the outer kinetochore with the inner kinetochore, bind microtubules, and mediate interactions with mitotic checkpoint proteins that delay anaphase until chromosomes are bioriented on the spindle. Required for kinetochore binding by a distinct subset of kMAPs (kinetochore-bound microtubule-associated proteins) and motors. Acts in coordination with CENPK to recruit the NDC80 complex to the outer kinetochore.
