Anti-NUP98

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Nuclear pore complex protein Nup98 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUP98 gene. This gene is one of several genes located in the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. NUP98 is a peripheral nucleoporin located at both the cytoplasmic and nuclear sides of the central channel of the NPC. Its phosphorylation is critical for NPC disassembly at the onset of mitosis. It plays roles in gene expression, mitotic checkpoint, and pathogenesis. Ligand blot analysis suggested that NUP98 can function as a docking protein for cytosol-mediated docking of import substrates. In addition to that, it is a target of the vesicular stomatitis virus M protein-mediated inhibition of mRNA nuclear export. Protein function: Plays a role in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) assembly and/or maintenance. NUP98 and NUP96 are involved in the bidirectional transport across the NPC. May anchor NUP153 and TPR to the NPC. In cooperation with DHX9, plays a role in transcription and alternative splicing activation of a subset of genes (PubMed:28221134). Involved in the localization of DHX9 in discrete intranuclear foci (GLFG-body) (PubMed:28221134). [The UniProt Consortium]
