General Information
Term cleavage furrow formation ID (Ontology) GO:0036089 (Gene Ontology)
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.[ PubMed:15811947 PubMed:20687468 PubMed:2192590 ]
