Anti-Nuclear Pore Complex Proteins antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Uses

Anti-Nuclear Pore Complex Proteins antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used for immunohistochemistry.

General Description

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are aqueous channels that impart access to the nucleus and modulate the transport of RNA, proteins and ribosome subunits across the nuclear envelope. Nucleoporins, which are conserved proteins, form a complex network and generate these channels. Each NPC is a large, complex cylindrical structure consisting of around 500 nucleoporins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nucleocytoplasmic exchanges occur through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) that are circular apertures in the nuclear envelope where the inner and the outer nuclear membrane are joined. Through the NPC there is a passive transport of small molecules (ions and water) that are smaller than 9-10 nm. Large molecules such as RNA and proteins have to be actively transported through the NPC in an energy and signal dependent manner. Many proteins interact with members of the NPC complex.
