Buffer	0.01M TBS (pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION	Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Note=Colocalizes with microtubules around centrosomes in prophase and with the mitotic spindle at prometaphase and metaphase. From late prometaphase to anaphase, is highly concentrated on kinetochores. Located at the kinetochore-microtubule interface. The astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex localizes to the microtubule plus ends.
SUBUNIT	Part of an astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex containing KNSTRN, SPAG5, PLK1, DYNLL1 and SGOL2. Interacts with SPAG5. Directly binds to microtubules, although at relatively low affinity. Interacts with CENPE; this interaction greatly favors microtubule-binding.
Important Note	This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications.

Protein Information
Name	KNSTRN (HGNC:30767)
Function	Essential component of the mitotic spindle required for faithful chromosome segregation and progression into anaphase (PubMed:19667759). Promotes the metaphase-to-anaphase transition and is required for chromosome alignment, normal timing of sister chromatid segregation, and maintenance of spindle pole architecture (PubMed:19667759, PubMed:22110139). The astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex promotes stable microtubule-kinetochore attachments (PubMed:21402792). Required for kinetochore oscillations and dynamics of microtubule plus-ends during live cell mitosis, possibly by forming a link between spindle microtubule plus-ends and mitotic chromosomes to achieve faithful cell division (PubMed:23035123). May be involved in UV-induced apoptosis via its interaction with PRPF19; however, these results need additional evidences (PubMed:24718257).
Cellular Location	Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center. Note=Colocalizes with microtubules around centrosomes in prophase and with the mitotic spindle at prometaphase and metaphase. From late prometaphase to anaphase, is highly concentrated on kinetochores. Located at the kinetochore-microtubule interface. The astrin (SPAG5)-kinastrin (SKAP) complex localizes to the microtubule plus ends (PubMed:23035123)
Tissue Location	Widely expressed, including in skin.
