Recombinant Human Centrosomal protein of 55 kDa (CEP55)

Uniprot Id

Q53EZ4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CEP55

Target Full Name

Centrosomal protein of 55 kDa

Target Function

Plays a role in mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Recruits PDCD6IP and TSG101 to midbody during cytokinesis. Required for successful completion of cytokinesis. Not required for microtubule nucleation. Plays a role in the development of the brain and kidney.

Target Involvement

Multinucleated neurons, anhydramnios, renal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia and hydranencephaly (MARCH)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cleavage furrow. Midbody, Midbody ring.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in embryonic brain. Expressed in fetal brain ganglionic eminence, kidney tubules and multinucleate neurons in the temporal cortex. Expressed in adult brain, cerebellum, kidney tubules, intestine and muscles (at protein level). Widely expressed,

Target Synonyms

Target Background

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in cranial skeletal system development; establishment of protein localization; and midbody abscission. Acts upstream of or within mitotic cytokinesis. Located in Flemming body; centriolar satellite; and plasma membrane. Implicated in multinucleated neurons, anhydramnios, renal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia and hydranencephaly.
