Disease relevance of CENPJ

 

High impact information on CENPJ

 

Biological context of CENPJ

 

Associations of CENPJ with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of CENPJ

  • The underlying genes for two of these were recently identified as CDK5RAP2 and CENPJ [4].
  • Using the LAG-3 intracytoplasmic region as bait in the yeast two-hybrid cloning system, we next identified a novel protein termed LAP for LAG-3-associated protein [9].
  • It is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with six known loci: MCPH1 to MCPH6 [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CENPJ

  • Indirect immunofluorescence and cellular fractionation studies revealed that CPAP was predominantly cytoplasmic, with low levels in the nucleus [1].
  • After treatment with TNFalpha, a portion of CPAP was observed to accumulate in the nucleus, although CPAP was found primarily in the cytoplasm without any stimulation [7].
