The microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) is a structure found in eukaryotic cells from which microtubules emerge. The main function of The MTOCs is the organization of eukaryotic flagella and cilia and the organization of the mitotic and meiotic spindle apparatus, which separate the chromosomes during cell division. The MTOC is considered to be a major site of microtubule nucleation. Moreover, it can be visualized in cells by immunohistochemical detection of γ-tubulin. Different phyla and kingdoms have different morphological characteristics of MTOCs.
