Background Information
IK, also known as the nuclear protein RED, is a down-regulator of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) II and interacts with the human SAC protein MAD1, which is required for the localization of the kinetochore of MAD1, for the progression of mitosis and for the activation of the SAC. IK is therefore an important protein for the correct progression of mitosis through the regulation of mitotic kinases and phosphatases. In addition, IK may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing, which may be a useful biomarker for new nuclear structures in cells.
