Gene Information

human ... CEP57(9702)

General description

The gene CEP57 (centrosomal protein of 57kDa) is mapped to human chromosome 11q21. CEP57 is a centrosomal protein and is localized to the central spindle and midbody.

Immunogen

Centrosomal protein of 57 kDa recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Centrosomal protein of 57kDa (CEP57) is crucial for nucleating, bundling and anchoring microtubules to the centrosomes. CEP57 associates with CEP63 and CEP152 to form a centrosomal complex. Absence of CEP57 disrupts microtubule assembly and causes abnormal localization of mitotic kinesin-like protein-1, polo-like kinase-1 and Aurora-B, thereby causing cytokinesis failure and the formation of binuclear cells. CEP57 is also responsible for recruitment of Tektin-1 to the midbody matrix for microtubule organization. Mutations in CEP57 cause mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome.

Features and Benefits

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.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
