Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity PCM-1 (G2000) Antibody detects endogenous levels of PCM-1 protein. Species cross-reactivity for IF-IC is human only. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the carboxyl terminus of human PCM-1 protein. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background The centrosome is composed of a pair of centrioles surrounded by electron-dense pericentriolar material and functions as the microtubule-organizing center responsible for microtubule nucleation and spindle organization during cell cycle progression (1). Pericentriolar material 1 (PCM-1) is a large, 228 kDa protein associated with the centrosome in a cell cycle-dependent manner (2). PCM-1 localizes to small cytoplasmic granules called centriolar satellites (3). PCM-1 is required for the assembly of several centrosomal proteins, including centrin, pericentrin, ninein, NEK2, and CEP250 (4-8). Chromosomal translocations involving genes encoding PCM-1 and the tyrosine kinases Ret and Jak2 are associated with some cancers, including papillary thyroid carcinoma and myeloid leukemia (9-11).
