CDK5 Activator-binding C48 rabbit pAb

This gene encodes a regulator of CDK5 (cyclin-dependent kinase 5) activity. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the centrosome and Golgi complex, interacts with CDK5R1 and pericentrin (PCNT), plays a role in centriole engagement and microtubule nucleation, and has been linked to primary microcephaly and Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Found in the pericentriolar region adhering to the surface of the centrosome and in the region of the centrosomal appendages. Localizes to microtubule plus ends in the presence of EB1/MAPRE1. Localization to centrosomes versus Golgi apparatus may be cell type-dependent. For instance, in SK-BR-3 and HEK293F cells, localizes to centrosomes but not to the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:29162697) . .
