Background Information
CEP164, also called KIAA1052 or NPHP15, is a 1460 amino acid protein containing 1 WW domain. CEP164 localizes in the microtubule organizing center and is expressed in several cell lines. CEP164 plays a role in microtubule organization and/or maintenance for the formation of primary cilia, a microtubule-based structure that protrudes from the surface of epithelial cells. CEP164 plays a critical role in the G2/M checkpoint and nuclear divisions. The expression of CEP164 is normally limited to the mother centriole, and CEP164 can be used as a useful marker for mother centriole.

Reviews
What customers say
All three reviews rate this antibody 5 stars. Users consistently report excellent performance in immunofluorescence on human cell lines (H9, RPE1, HEK290, HeLa), with clear labeling of the mother centriole distal appendage. One reviewer described it as a "fabulous antibody" for identifying the distal appendage of the primary cilium. Western blot results were also well received at 1:1000 dilution. Recommended dilutions range from 1:300 to 1:2000 for IF and 1:1000 for WB. Overall, reviewers highlight strong specificity, reliable signal, and ease of use across multiple applications.

Ludovic (Verified Customer) (02-27-2024) | A fabulous antibody to identify the distal appendage of the primary cilium. Never seen an antibody that works so well!

Elisa (Verified Customer) (04-04-2023) | H9 cells stained for Hoechst (DNA marker, in green), Cep164 (mother centriole distal appendage marker, in green) and g-Tubulin (pericentriolar matrix marker, in magenta). H9 cells were fixed in cold methanol for 10' at -20C. Cells were then rehydrated with PBS for 5'. Membrane permeabilization was then performed with 0.1% Triton + 0.1% Tween +0.01%SDS in PBS for 5'. Cells were finally incubated with blocking buffer (5% BSA+ 0.1% Tween in PBS) for 30' at RT. Primary antibody was diluted in blocking buffer 1:300 and incubated for 1h at room temperature. Alexa-488-Anti-rabbit was used as secondary antibody (1:600 dilution) (1h at room temperature).
