RBM8A Antibody (PCRP-RBM8A-1B4) [Alexa Fluor® 594] Summary

• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human RBM8A protein (Uniprot: Q9Y5S9)
• Localization: Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein.
• Specificity: RBM8A Antibody is a high quality monoclonal RBM8A antibody (also designated RBM8A antibody) suitable for the detection of the RBM8A protein of mouse, rat, human and Xenopus laevis origin. RBM8A Antibody (4C4) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-RBM8A antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-RBM8A antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor conjugates. The exon junction complex (EJC) is a multiprotein complex that assembles approximately 20-24 nucleotides upstream of exon-exon junctions in pre-mRNAs. It is involved in mRNA export, cytoplasmic localization, and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Members of the EJC include RBM8A, Aly/REF, Magoh, RNPS1, SRm160, and DEK. Aly/REF, Magoh, and RBM8A, identified as RBM8 in mouse and rat, make up the core of the EJC, and these proteins remain stably bound to spliced mRNAs in the cytoplasm until they are translated. Therefore, RBM8A, Aly/REF, and Magoh have the ability to communicate to the cytoplasm the processing history of the mRNA, including the position of the removed introns. The gene encoding human RBM8A encodes three transcripts. RBM8A is a ubiquitously expressed protein. Although RBM8A shuttles to the cytoplasm, it is predominantly detected in the nucleus and is co-localized with oskar mRNA at the posterior pole of the cell.

Background

Pre-mRNA splicing appears to play an important role in regulation of gene expression. It has been shown in a number of studies that during the splicing process, specific proteins are recruited to the mRNA and assemble into a complex of mRNA-protein near the exon-exon junction. This complex is termed mRNA-protein complex (mRNP), or the exon-exon junction complex. Several proteins were found to be present in this complex including Y14, magoh, Aly/REF, RNPS1, Upf3, and DEK. Y14 is a 174 amino acid RNA-binding protein that contains one RNA-binding domain in the middle of the protein. Y14 binds to the spliced mRNAs in the nucleus and is exported with the mRNA to the cytoplasm. Similar to other proteins in the mRNA-protein complex, Y14 can interact with the mRNA export factor TAP and enhance the export of the mRNAs. Y14 binds to different mRNAs approx.
