Introduction
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is a phosphoprotein that moves between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of a cell. It is believed to be involved in several cellular processes, including the regulation of the ARF/p53 pathway. NPM1 is known to interact with other genes, forming fusion partners, notably with the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene found on chromosome 2. Mutations in the NPM1 gene are associated with acute myeloid leukemia.
Description
Recombinant human NPM1, produced in E. coli bacteria, is a single polypeptide chain that lacks glycosylation. It consists of 314 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 to 294), resulting in a molecular weight of 34.7 kDa. The NPM1 protein has a 20 amino acid His-tag attached to its N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
A clear and sterile solution.
Formulation
The NPM1 protein is provided in a solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. The solution contains 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer at a pH of 8.0, 10% glycerol, 0.15 M NaCl (sodium chloride), and 1 mM DTT (dithiothreitol).
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the NPM1 protein solution should be kept at 4°C. For longer storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. To further enhance long-term stability, consider adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (0.1% concentration). It is important to avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the protein solution.
Purity
The purity of the NPM1 protein is greater than 85%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Nucleophosmin, NPM, Nucleolar phosphoprotein B23, Nucleolar protein NO38, Numatrin, NPM1, NPM, B23.
