CDC5L Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

The protein encoded by this gene shares a significant similarity with Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc5 gene product, which is a cell cycle regulator important for G2/M transition. This protein has been demonstrated to act as a positive regulator of cell cycle G2/M progression. It was also found to be an essential component of a non-snRNA spliceosome, which contains at least five additional protein factors and is required for the second catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing.

CDC5L: is a spliceosome protein that binds DNA and that also regulates transcription. Is a positive regulator of cell cycle G2/M progression. Is an essential component of non-snRNA spliceosomes and is required for the second catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing. Binds adeno-pre-mRNA in an ATP-stimulated manner. Is part of a spliceosomal 'core' complex that includes CDC5L, SF2, PRLI, SPF27, HSP7C, PRPF19/SNEV, GCN1L. Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Has been associated with aneuploidy in aging cells and in tumorigenesis. The genomic region containing the gene for CDC5L (6p21.1) is frequently amplified in osteosarcomas.
