| Gene Symbol | BUB1 |
| Protein Type | Kinase |
| Function | is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a critical role in the mitotic checkpoint (spindle assembly checkpoint), ensuring proper chromosome segregation during cell division[@yu2007]. |
| Primary Expression | proliferating cells:
- Highest: Bone marrow, testis, embryonic tissues[@gtex]
- Cell cycle-regulated: Peak in G2/M phase
- Low/undetectable: Most diff |
| Subcellular Localization | and activity[@ruchaud2007]
BUB1 contains:
- N-terminal kinetochore-targeting do |
