Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The gene CEP55 (Centrosomal protein of 55kDa), also referred to as C10orf3, encodes a 464 amino acid containing protein with highest expression in testis and thymus. This coiled-coil protein has a molar mass of 55kDa. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 10q23.33._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ centrosomal protein 55kDa recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-CEP55 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry._x000D_ All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

LLC_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The gene CEP55 (Centrosomal protein of 55kDa) encodes a protein that is found to be localized to the mother centriole during interphase. It plays a crucial role in microtubule nucleation, mitotic exit and cytokinesis. The protein CEP55 also elicits the cell transformation by stimulating the phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. It participates in the regulation of cell-cycle and is found in certain tumor tissues, such as hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer. Additionally, it is also involved in midbody structure during cytokinesis._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section._x000D_ Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:_x000D_ • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues._x000D_ • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments._x000D_ • Validated for multiple commonly used applications such as IHC (Immunohistochemistry), IF (Immunofluorescence), and WB (Western Blot)_x000D_ Linkage_x000D_ Corresponding Antigen APREST70314.
