About: Centralspindlin

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Centralspindlin is a motor complex implicated in cell division. It contributes to virtually every step in cytokinesis, It is highly conserved in animal cells as a component of the spindle midzone and midbody. Centralspindlin is required for the assembly of the mitotic spindle as well as for microtubule bundling and anchoring of midbody microtubules to the plasma membrane. This complex is also implicated in tethering the spindle apparatus to the plasma membrane during cytokinesis This interaction permits cleavage furrow ingression. In addition, centralspindlin's interaction with the ESCRT III allows for abscission to occur.
