Anti-Nucleolin, clone NPC23-2

1 mg/ml in sterile PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. Nucleolin (NCL) is the major nucleolar phosphoprotein of growing eukaryotic cells. It is located mainly in dense fibrillar regions of the nucleolus. NCL is found associated with intranucleolar chromatin and pre-ribosomal particles. It induces chromatin decondensation by binding to histone H1. It is thought to play a role in pre-rRNA transcription and ribosome assembly. Protein function: Nucleolin is the major nucleolar protein of growing eukaryotic cells. It is found associated with intranucleolar chromatin and pre-ribosomal particles. It induces chromatin decondensation by binding to histone H1. It is thought to play a role in pre-rRNA transcription and ribosome assembly. May play a role in the process of transcriptional elongation. Binds RNA oligonucleotides with 5'-UUAGGG-3' repeats more tightly than the telomeric single-stranded DNA 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeats.
