NME1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

NME1, also known as Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase A (NDK-A), or NM23-H1, belongs to the NDK family. NM23-H1 is known to have a metastasis suppressive activity in many tumor cells. Recent studies have shown that the interacting proteins with NM23-H1 which mediate cell proliferation, may act as modulators of the metastasis suppressor activity. The interacting proteins with NM23-H1 can be classified into 3 groups. The first group of proteins can be classified as upstream kinases of NM23-H1 such as CKI and Aurora-A/STK15. The second group of proteins acts as downstream effectors for the regulation of specific gene transcriptions, GTP-binding protein functions, and signal transduction in the Erk signal cascade. The third group of proteins can be classified as bi-directionally influencing binding partners of NM23-H1. As a result, the interactions with NM23-H1 and binding partners have implications in the biochemical characterization involved in metastasis and tumorigenesis. NDKA is increased in human postmortem cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a model of global brain insult, suggesting that measurement in CSF and, more importantly, in plasma may be useful as a biomarker of stroke. Additionally, NM23-H1 significantly reduces metastasis without effects on primary tumor size and was the first discovered metastasis suppressor gene.

Kinases are highly recommended to be shipped at frozen temperature with blue ice or dry ice. Shipment made at ambient temperature may seriously affect the activity of the ordered products. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
