CEP55 Antibody / Cytokinesis Protein Antibody recognizes CEP55, a centrosome-associated protein that plays an essential role during the final stages of cell division. Although initially identified as a centrosomal protein, CEP55 is now best known for its critical function at the midbody during cytokinesis, where it coordinates the recruitment of protein complexes required for membrane abscission and successful separation of daughter cells. Expression of CEP55 is tightly regulated throughout the cell cycle, reaching its highest levels during mitosis and cytokinesis. Because of its indispensable role in cell division, a CEP55 Antibody is widely used to investigate mitotic progression, cytokinesis, centrosome biology, and mechanisms regulating cellular proliferation.
CEP55 functions as a scaffold protein that recruits components of the ESCRT machinery, including TSG101 and ALIX, to the midbody during late cytokinesis. These interactions promote membrane remodeling and completion of abscission, allowing physical separation of daughter cells after chromosome segregation. Failure of CEP55 function can disrupt cytokinesis, resulting in multinucleated cells, genomic instability, and abnormal centrosome numbers. In addition to its role in cytokinesis, CEP55 has been implicated in signaling pathways that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and migration. A CEP55 Antibody enables researchers to study these processes while examining the molecular mechanisms that ensure accurate cell division.
Aberrant CEP55 expression has been reported in numerous human malignancies, including breast, lung, colorectal, liver, ovarian, prostate, gastric, and pancreatic cancers. Elevated CEP55 levels frequently correlate with increased tumor grade, aggressive disease, metastatic potential, and poor clinical prognosis. Because uncontrolled cell division is a hallmark of cancer, CEP55 has attracted considerable attention as both a biomarker and a potential therapeutic target. Beyond oncology, inherited alterations affecting CEP55 have been linked to developmental disorders characterized by defects in cell proliferation and tissue formation. Consequently, a CEP55 Antibody has become an important research reagent in cancer biology, developmental biology, and cell cycle studies.
CEP55 is routinely analyzed using Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry to evaluate protein expression, intracellular localization, and regulation during the cell cycle. Immunofluorescence studies are particularly valuable for visualizing CEP55 localization at the centrosome and midbody during mitosis and cytokinesis. Researchers often combine CEP55 analysis with markers of centrosomes, mitotic spindles, midbodies, and ESCRT-associated proteins to gain a more comprehensive understanding of cell division. NSJ Bioreagents provides carefully validated antibodies to support these applications across multiple experimental systems. A CEP55 Antibody / Cytokinesis Protein Antibody is a valuable research tool for investigating cytokinesis, mitotic regulation, midbody organization, and the molecular mechanisms that control accurate cell division.
