Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle.Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes to the outerkinetochore and spindle microtubules during mitosis in a NDC80complex-dependent manner. Localizes to both the mitotic spindle andkinetochore-associated proteins. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the SKA2 family. |
| SUBUNIT | Component of the SKA1 complex, composed of SKA1, SKA2 andSKA3. Forms a heterodimer with SKA1; the heterodimer interactingwith SKA3. The core SKA1 complex is composed of 2 SKA1-SKA2heterodimers, each heterodimer interacting with a molecule of theSKA3 homodimer. The core SKA1 complex associates with microtubulesand forms oligomeric assemblies. Interacts directly with SKA1.Binds directly to microtubules; but with a much lower affinity thanSKA1. May interact with NR3C1; the relevance of such interactionremains unclear in vivo. |

| Background Descriptions | Ska2 (spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 2), also known as FAM33A, is a 121 amino acid component of the Ska1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is critical for proper chromosome segregation. The Ska1 complex is a component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. Localized to the outer kinetochore and spindle microtubules during cell proliferation, Ska2 is essential for spindle checkpoint silencing and exit from mitosis. Downregulation of Ska2 leads to delayed recruitment of MAD2, a component of the mitotic spindle checkpoint, to several kinetochores resulting in occasional loss of individual chromosomes from the metaphase plate. Ska2 is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 17, which comprises over 2.5% of the human genome and encodes over 1,200 genes. |

| Function | Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation (PubMed:17093495, PubMed:19289083, PubMed:23085020). Required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint (PubMed:17093495). The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies (PubMed:19289083). The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerization- coupled manner (PubMed:17093495, PubMed:19289083). In the complex, it is required for SKA1 localization (PubMed:19289083). Affinity for microtubules is synergistically enhanced in the presence of the ndc-80 complex and may allow the ndc-80 complex to track depolymerizing microtubules (PubMed:23085020). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Localizes to the outer kinetochore and spindle microtubules during mitosis in a NDC80 complex-dependent manner. Localizes to both the mitotic spindle and kinetochore- associated proteins. |
