NPM1 Antibody (NPM1/7072R) [Janelia Fluor® 585] Summary

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Recombinant fragment of human NPM1 protein (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: P06748)
• Localization: Nucleus, Cytoplasm
• Marker: Acute Myeloid Leukemia Marker
• Specificity: Recognizes a 33kDa glycoprotein, identified as NPM1 (NPM). It is predominantly localized in the nucleus of cells in most tissues. NPM is involved in ribosomal assembly and rRNA transport. It is an abundant protein that is highly phosphorylated by Cdc2 kinase during mitosis. This phosphoprotein moves between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It is thought to be involved in several processes including regulation of the ARF/p53 pathway. A number of genes are fusion partners, in particular the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene on chromosome 2. Mutations in exon 12 affecting the C-terminus of the protein are associated with an aberrant cytoplasmic location. Mutations in this gene are associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The antibody may be a useful aid for classification of acute myeloid leukemia.

Background

Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a multi-functional protein that is involved in many cellular activities including cell growth, proliferation and transformation. It is frequently overexpressed in solid tumors, and has recently been found to be mutated and aberrantly localized in the cytoplasm of leukaemic blasts in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

NMP antibodies are useful tools as tumor markers in cancer research.
