Karyopherin α Mouse, Unlabeled, Clone: 2, BD

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 610485

Catalog No. BDB610485

Description

The two step process of importing proteins into the nucleus involves the binding and interaction of several cytosolic and nuclear pore proteins. Proteins to be translocated into the nucleus contain a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) which is recognized and bound by carrier proteins in the cytosol. Heterodimers belonging to a highly conserved family of proteins called karyopherins are required for successful nuclear localization of cytosolic proteins. The α-subunits appear to function in the binding of NLS (both simple and bitartite NLS motifs), but both α- and β-subunits are required for successful docking to the nuclear envelope. ATP is required for complete translocation of proteins into the nucleus. Karyopherin α2 was first identified as Rch-1, an NLS receptor which interacts with the RAG-1 recombination-activating protein in developing B and T cells. Rch-1 has been reported to be 44% identical to karyopherin α1 (hSRP-1 /NPI-1).
