Overview
BUB1, also known as mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BUB1 gene. It is mapped to 2q13. BUB1 is first identified in genetic screens of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein is bound to kinetochores and plays a key role in the establishment of the mitotic spindle checkpoint and chromosome congression. The mitotic checkpoint kinase is evolutionary conserved in organisms as diverse as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans. Loss-of-function mutations or absence of BUB1 has been reported to result in aneuploidy, chromosomal instability (CIN) and premature senescence. The protein kinase BUB1 possesses versatile and distinct functions during the cell cycle, mainly in the SAC and chromosome alignment during metaphase.
This anti-BUB1 antibody is supplied as Antigen affinity purified (Rabbit, Polyclonal (rabbit origin), Rabbit IgG, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: BUB1
- Format: Antigen affinity purified
- Localization: Nuclear, cytoplasmic
- Species reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
- Applications (listed): WB, IHC-P, Direct ELISA
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Clone and antibody class: Polyclonal (rabbit origin), Rabbit IgG
Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
BUB1 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling BUB1 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link BUB1 signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- WB
- IHC-P
- Direct ELISA
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
