Centrin-2 polyclonal antibody

Centrins are small conserved microtubule nucleating proteins localized to centrosomes, also known as microtubule organizing centers (MTOC), in eukaryotic cells. Centrin-1 is associated with cells that have cilia and flagella, whereas centrin-2 and -3 are ubiquitously expressed and important in centrosome duplication during cell division, as well as the structure and function of the MTOC . Human centrin-2 has also been shown to localize to nuclear pores and to have a role in regulation of mRNA export . The yeast ortholog of centrin-2, CDC31, plays a part in control of protein degradation and sensitivity to DNA damage .
