Biological background

Function: Involved in primary cilium biogenesis. Also involved in autophagy since it is required for trafficking of ATG16L and the expansion of the autophagic compartment.

Cellular localization: Centriole. Cilium basal body. Centrosome. Cilium. Cytoplasm. Flagellum.

Tissue details: Expressed in the heart, brain, liver, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas.

Background: Protein MIS12 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIS12 gene. Mis12 complex is composed of four subunits, Protein MIS12 homolog, Polyamine-modulated factor 1, Kinetochore-associated protein DSN1 homolog, and Kinetochore-associated protein NSL1 homolog (UniProt: Q9H081, Q6P1K2, Q9H410, Q96IY1, respectively) that are encoded by genes known as MIS12 (Gene ID: 79003), PMF1 (Gene ID: 100527963), DSN1 (Gene ID: 79980), and NSL1 (also known as C1orf48, DC31, DC8, MIS14) (Gene ID: 25936) in human. The MIS12 complex is a protein interaction hub for outer kinetochore assembly. This complex acts as the primary microtubule-binding interface at kinetochores and provides a platform to recruit regulatory proteins. In human Mis12 complex subunits are shown to localize with centromere protein A (CENP-A) at inner kinetochores and internally to Ndc80 at outer kinetochores. Mis12 complex plays an essential role in chromosome segregation in vertebrates and contributes to mitotic kinetochore assembly. Reduced levels of Mis12 complex proteins are shown to result in chromosome alignment defects in both human and chicken cells, but spindle bipolarity is not disturbed.

Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Research relevance and current trends

• Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
• Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization with compartment markers.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.

Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
• Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.

For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
