Description
Product Characteristics: PRC1 Antibody: PRC1 (Protein Regulator of Cytokinesis 1) is a key regulator of cytokinesis and has been identified as a substrate for several cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). High levels of PRC1 expression occurs during S and G2/M and drops dramatically after mitosis exit and G1 entry. It is located in the nucleus during interphase and binds to the midzone of mitotic spindles during anaphase and is localized to the cell midbody during cytokinesis. Depletion of PRC1 has been shown to prevent cellular cleavage, but it has no effect on nuclear division, demonstrating the importance of PRC1 in mitosis.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein that is involved in cytokinesis. The protein is present at high levels during the S and G2/M phases of mitosis but its levels drop dramatically when the cell exits mitosis and enters the G1 phase. It is located in the nucleus during interphase, becomes associated with mitotic spindles in a highly dynamic manner during mitosis, and localizes to the cell mid-body during cytokinesis. This protein has been shown to be a substrate of several cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). It is necessary for polarizing parallel microtubules and concentrating the factors responsible for contractile ring assembly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
