Abstract

Centromere protein C (CENP-C), a human centromere autoantigen, is a component of the inner kinetochore plate. CENP-C is required for maintaining proper kinetochore size and a timely transition to anaphase. In this study using fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes, the human CENP-C gene (CENPC) was mapped on chromosome 4, region q13-->q21.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
