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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=POC1A - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=POC1A - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=POC1A - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/POC1A - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=POC1A+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047293313389,"sku":"FY12567","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_faf6d353-ac88-4b15-9652-9b3a9988ba0c.jpg?v=1782237023","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/poc1a-antibody-poc1-centriolar-protein-a-bha17135470","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
