ANTI-CDK5RAP2 ANTIBODY

General description

Also known as Cep215, CDK5RAP2 is involved in a variety of cellular processes. It serves as a potential regulator of CDK5 activity through its interaction with CDK5R1. It acts as a negative regulator of centriole disengagement, which maintains centriole engagement and cohesion. It is involved in the regulation of mitotic spindle orientation. Additionally, this protein mediates spindle checkpoint activation by serving as a transcriptional regulator of the MAD2 and BUBR1 promoter. In conjuction with MAPRE1, CDK5RAP2 promotes microtubule polymerization, bundle formation, and growth at the plus ends. It also plays a role in DNA damage-induced G2 cell cycle checkpoint. CDK5RAP2 is known to be mutated in primary microcephaly, a neuodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by a decrease in brain size.
