Biological 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.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Immunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- ELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
