{"product_id":"nsj-fy12567-100ug","title":"POC1A Antibody \/ POC1 centriolar protein A, 100 ug","description":"\u003cp\u003ePOC1A antibody detects POC1 centriolar protein A, a core structural component of centrioles essential for their assembly, stability, and duplication. POC1A belongs to a conserved family of centriolar proteins that maintain centrosome integrity and regulate spindle formation during mitosis. The POC1A antibody is widely used in cell cycle, ciliogenesis, and developmental biology research to study centrosome organization and division control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOC1A is encoded by the POC1A gene located on human chromosome 3p21.2. The protein is approximately 45 kilodaltons and contains an N-terminal WD40 domain that mediates protein-protein interactions and a C-terminal coiled-coil region required for centriolar localization. POC1A localizes to the proximal ends of centrioles and basal bodies, where it contributes to centriole duplication fidelity and stability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe POC1A antibody detects a 45 kilodalton band in western blot assays and shows centrosomal staining in interphase and mitotic cells. POC1A is required for the maintenance of mature centrioles and proper spindle orientation during cell division. It works in concert with other centriolar components, including CEP135 and SAS6, ensuring correct microtubule organization and ciliogenesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMutations in POC1A cause primordial dwarfism and growth retardation syndromes due to defective centriole biogenesis and impaired mitotic progression. Cells lacking POC1A exhibit abnormal centrosome numbers, fragmented spindles, and cell cycle arrest. POC1A expression is also implicated in cilia assembly, linking centrosome function to signaling pathways such as Hedgehog and Wnt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of its importance in centrosome biology, POC1A serves as a useful marker for studying mitotic structures, developmental abnormalities, and ciliopathies. NSJ Bioreagents provides a validated POC1A antibody optimized for western blot, immunofluorescence, and centrosome imaging, supporting research into centriole duplication, ciliary formation, and cell division regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":51552379371800,"sku":"FY12567","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5652\/1400\/files\/get_image_a1995874-b7ed-4e97-a066-d6487698d7fa.jpg?v=1768353912","url":"https:\/\/danabiosci.com\/products\/nsj-fy12567-100ug","provider":"Dana Bioscience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
