Anti-PCM1

pericentriolar material 1(PCM1) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a component of centriolar satellites, which are electron dense granules scattered around centrosomes. Inhibition studies show that this protein is essential for the correct localization of several centrosomal proteins, and for anchoring microtubules to the centrosome. Chromosomal aberrations involving this gene are associated with papillary thyroid carcinomas and a variety of hematological malignancies, including atypical chronic myeloid leukemia and T-cell lymphoma. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Essential for the correct localization of several centrosomal proteins including CEP250, CETN3, PCNT and NEK2 (PubMed:12403812, PubMed:15659651). Required to anchor microtubules to the centrosome (PubMed:12403812, PubMed:15659651). Also involved in cilium biogenesis by recruiting the BBSome, a ciliary protein complex involved in cilium biogenesis, to the centriolar satellites (PubMed:20551181, PubMed:24121310, PubMed:27979967). Recruits the tubulin polyglutamylase complex (TPGC) to centriolar satellites (PubMed:34782749). [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000. Cellular localization: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasmic granule . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriolar satellite . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body . Recruitment to the centrosome requires microtubules and dynein. The majority of the protein dissociates from the centrosome during metaphase and subsequently localizes to the cleavage site in telophase. Displaced from centriolar satellites and centrosome in response to cellular stress, such as ultraviolet light (UV) radiation or heat shock, in a process that requires p38 MAP kinase signaling.
