General description

Pericentrin binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome that serves as a multifunctional scaffold for anchoring proteins and protein complexes. Evidence suggests that pericentrin plays a role in microtubule nucleation and spindle organization. Recent studies show pericentrin plays a role in Majewski/micorcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPDII) and Seckel Syndrome. Recent use in network modeling indicates a direct link between breast cancer susceptibility to centrosome defects. Pericentrin is a potential marker for centrosome defects in cancer and cancer progression, as centrosomal abonormalities in solid tumors are accompanied by increased pericentrin levels and defects in pericentrin organization.

Specificity

Other homologies: Mouse (89% sequence homology). No homology to Rat was found.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Pericentrin.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Pericentrin in HeLa cells.
This Anti-Pericentrin Antibody is validated for use in WB, IC for the detection of Pericentrin.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in HeLa cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 0.5 µg/mL of this antibody detected Pericentrin in 10 µg of HeLa cell lysate. Western Blot was performed without Tween.

Target description

~250 kDa observed.
Uniprot describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with molecular weights at 378 & 355 kDa However in endogenous lysates, Pericentrin is observed at ~250 kDa & ~150 kDa for western blots (Wen, Y., et al. (2008). J Biol Chem. 283(5):2793-2803).

Dynein is the sole processive minus-end-directed microtubule motor found in animals. It has roles in cell division, membrane trafficking, and cell migration. Together with dynactin, dynein regulates centrosomal orientation to establish and maintain cell polarity, controls focal adhesion turnover and
