Nucleophosmin Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), also known as nucleolar phosphoprotein B23 or numatrin, is a member of the nucleoplasmin family. Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar phosphoprotein that plays multiple roles in ribosome assembly and transport, cytoplasmic-nuclear trafficking, centrosome duplication, and regulation of p53. The NPM1 gene is frequently involved in chromosomal translocation, mutation, and deletion. Mutations of the NPM1 gene leading to the expression of a cytoplasmic mutant protein, NPMc+, are the most frequent genetic abnormalities found in acute myeloid leukemias. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with mutated NPM1 have distinct characteristics, including a significant association with a normal karyotype, the involvement of different hematopoietic lineages, a specific gene-expression profile, and clinically, a better response to induction therapy, and a favorable prognosis. Also, NPM1 is a crucial gene to consider in the context of the genetics and biology of cancer. NPM1 is frequently overexpressed, mutated, rearranged, and deleted in human cancer. Traditionally regarded as a tumor marker and a putative proto-oncogene, it has now also been attributed with tumor-suppressor functions.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 6.0 Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human NPM1 consisting of 161 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 17.8 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 20 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. 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.

A DNA sequence encoding the human NPM1 isoform 1 (P06748-1) N-terminal segment (Met 9-Leu 158) was expressed, with a polyhistide tag at the N-terminus.
