| Name | POC1B (HGNC:30836) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | WDR51B |
| Function | Plays an important role in centriole assembly and/or stability and ciliogenesis (PubMed:20008567, PubMed:32060285). Involved in early steps of centriole duplication, as well as in the later steps of centriole length control (PubMed:19109428). Acts in concert with POC1A to ensure centriole integrity and proper mitotic spindle formation (PubMed:32060285). Required for primary cilia formation, ciliary length and also cell proliferation (PubMed:23015594). Required for retinal integrity (PubMed:25044745). Acts as a positive regulator of centriole elongation (PubMed:37934472). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Note=Component of both mother and daughter centrioles (PubMed:32060285). Localizes to the basal body and centriole adjacent to the connecting cilium of photoreceptors and in synapses of the outer plexiform layer. Localizes to the inner scaffold in the central region of centrioles {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BHD1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32060285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:37934472} |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
