MKI67 (also Ki-67) is a 350-400kD nuclear protein that belongs to a molecular group comprised of mitotic chromosome-associated proteins.
Ki-67 was originally recognized as an antigen associated with the monoclonal Ki-67 antibody raised against Hodgkin's lymphoma nuclear material.
Ki-67 is contextually expressed, being potentially found in all cells that are not in the Go phase of the cell cycle.
Thus, MKI67 qualifies as a cell proliferation marker.
Functionally, Ki-67 is known to interact with 160kD Hklp2, a protein that promotes centrosome separation and spindle bipolarity.
It also directly interacts with NIFK, and apparently binds to UBF, thus playing a role in rRNA synthesis.
Human MKI67 is 3256 amino acids (aa) in length.
It contains one FHA domain (aa 8-98), followed by at least 24 utilized Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites and sixteen 120aa repeats (aa 1000-2928) that are interspersed with at least 90 additional utilized phosphorylation sites.
There are two potential isoform variants.
One isoform is 315-345kD in size and shows a deletion of aa136-495, while a second isoform contains a 58 aa substitution for aa1-513.
Over aa3120-3256, human Ki-67 shares 46% aa sequence identity with the mouse ortholog to Ki-67.
