Background:

Centrosomal protein 170kDa, also known as CEP170, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP170 geneThe product of this gene is a component of the centrosome, a non-membraneous organelle that functions as the major microtubule-organizing center in animal cells. During interphase, the encoded protein localizes to the sub-distal appendages of mature centrioles, which are microtubule-based structures thought to help organize centrosomes. During mitosis, the protein associates with spindle microtubules near the centrosomes. The protein interacts with the intraflagellar transport protein 81 (IFT81), the SH3-domain containing protein PRAX-1, and is phosphorylated by cyclin dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) and polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), and functions in maintaining Microtubule organization, cell morphology and cilium stability.

Specificity:

CEP170 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of CEP170 protein.
