Centriolin Polyclonal Antibody

Cytokinesis occurs during the late stages of mitosis and describes the process by which the cytoplasm of one cell is divided to create two subsequent daughter cells. Centriolin, also known as CEP110, is a coiled-coil centrosomal protein that is required for centrosome maturation and correct centrosome function. During abscission, the last step in cytokinesis, Centriolin both coordinates and grounds vesicle-fusion and vesicle-exocyst complexes to the midbody of the daughter cells. Acting as an anchor for the protein complexes needed to complete separation of the two cells, Centriolin initiates and controls vesicle-mediated cell cleavage. Through its ability to signal initiation of the last step of vertebrate cytokinesis, Centriolin regulates cell proliferation and contributes to proper entry into the S phase of mitosis.
