Accession
GO:0036089
Name
cleavage furrow formation
Ontology

Synonyms
cleavage furrow positioning
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Generation of the cleavage furrow, a shallow groove in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate that marks the site of cytokinesis. This process includes the recruitment and localized activation of signals such as RhoA at the site of the future furrow to ensure that furrowing initiates at the correct site in the cell.
