Anti-ANAPC5 (Anaphase-promoting Complex Subunit 5, APC5, Cyclosome Subunit 5)

Cell cycle regulated protein ubiquitination and degradation within subcellular domains is thought to be essential for the normal progression of mitosis. APC5 is a highly conserved component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. APC/C is responsible for degrading anaphase inhibitors, mitotic cyclins, and spindle-associated proteins ensuring that events of mitosis take place in proper sequence. The individual APC/C components mRNA and protein levels are expressed at approximately the same levels in most tissues and cell lines, suggesting that they perform their functions as part of a complex. While little is known of APC5, it is thought that APC5 associates with other APC/C components APC1, APC4, and CDC23 interdependently, such that loss of any one subunit reduces binding between the remaining three.
