The centromere links a pair of sister chromatids together during cell division. This constricted region of chromosome connects the sister chromatids, creating...

Anti-centromere antibodies (ACAs; often styled solid, anticentromere) are autoantibodies specific to centromere and kinetochore function. They occur in...

Centromere protein B also known as major centromere autoantigen B is an autoantigen protein of the cell nucleus. In humans, centromere protein B is encoded...
