Bub proteins

Bub proteins are part of the cell’s quality control system, specifically involved in monitoring cell division and ensuring chromosomes are correctly distributed to daughter cells. They act as sensors and regulators during the process to prevent errors like chromosome missegregation. By identifying and responding to issues, Bub proteins help maintain genetic stability, reducing the risk of mutations and diseases such as cancer. In essence, they are critical guardians that help ensure cells divide accurately and maintain healthy DNA content.
