Anti-CEP85

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the centrosome-associated family of proteins. The centrosome is a subcellular organelle in the animal cell that functions as a microtubule organizing center and is involved in cell-cycle progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013], Protein function: Acts as a negative regulator of NEK2 to maintain the centrosome integrity in interphase. Suppresses centrosome disjunction by inhibiting NEK2 kinase activity (PubMed:26220856). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000. Cellular localization: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole . Nucleus, nucleolus . Localizes to centrosomes and nucleolus in interphase. Upon entry into mitosis, relocates from nucleolus and accumulates at spindle poles (PubMed:21399614). Associated with the pericentriolar material. Localizes to centrosomes at a low level in G1 phase and a slightly increased level in S phase, with gradually elevated levels during G2 phase. The levels at centrosomes further increase at G2/M, reaching a peak at spindle poles at early mitotic stages and remain high until the end of anaphase (PubMed:26220856). .
