Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Pericentrin antibody [mAbcam 28144] - BSA and Azide free (AB256363)

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab28144).

Immunocytochemical analysis of HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labeling Pericentrin with ab28144 at 1/50 dilution at 4°C overnight, followed by AlexaFluor® 488-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit secondary
antibody (ab150077) at 1/1000 dilution at RT for 30min. Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] (ab195889) was used as a counterstain at 1/200 dilution at RT for 30min. Nucleus were visualized using DAPI. The cells were 4% PFA fixed and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100.

Supplementary information

Pericentrin also known as PCNT is a large protein with a mass of approximately 360 kDa. It primarily localizes at the centrosome an organelle serving as the main microtubule organizing center in cells. Expressed in most cell types pericentrin is an essential structural component of the centrosome. Researchers often use pericentrin staining techniques to visualize centrosomes aiding in the study of cell division. This protein functions prominently as a centrosome marker facilitating centrosome image and imaging of centrosome-related structures.
Biological function summary

Pericentrin contributes significantly to maintaining centrosome integrity and organizing microtubules during cell division. It is a part of the pericentriolar material a complex that stabilizes and anchors microtubules to the centrosome. By forming a scaffold at the centrosome pericentrin plays an important role in recruiting other proteins like γ-tubulin enhancing its function in nucleating microtubules. The pericentrin protein is vital for proper spindle organization during mitosis affecting accurate chromosome segregation.

Pathways

Pericentrin is integral to the cell cycle and mitotic spindle assembly pathways. It interacts with several other proteins involved in mitosis including γ-tubulin and ninein to manage the assembly and stability of the mitotic spindle. By participating in these pathways pericentrin ensures correct cellular replication and division therefore maintaining genetic stability within organisms.

Mutations in the pericentrin gene have been linked to microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II and Seckel syndrome. These conditions suggest a connection between defective pericentrin function and disruptions in cell division and growth. Studies also show that alterations in pericentrin levels can influence tumorigenesis by affecting centrosome function and chromosome segregation increasing the importance of this protein in cancer research.

Target data

Integral component of the filamentous matrix of the centrosome involved in the initial establishment of organized microtubule arrays in both mitosis and meiosis. Plays a role, together with DISC1, in the microtubule network formation. Is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). May play an important role in preventing premature centrosome splitting during interphase by inhibiting NEK2 kinase activity at the centrosome.
