Anti-HnRNP L/HNRNPL Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HNRNPL gene. Heterogeneous nuclear RNAs (hnRNAs) which include mRNA precursors and mature mRNAs are associated with specific proteins to form heterogenous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complexes. HNRNPL is among the proteins that are stably associated with hnRNP complexes and along with other hnRNP proteins is likely to play a major role in the formation, packaging, processing, and function of mRNA. It is present in the nucleoplasm as part of the HNRP complex. HNRP proteins have also been identified outside of the nucleoplasm. Exchange of hnRNP for mRNA-binding proteins accompanies transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Since HNRP proteins have been shown to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, it is possible that they also have cytoplasmic functions. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human HnRNP L, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

Detected in vascular smooth muscle and striated muscle. Detected in insulin-producing beta-cells in pancreas islets of Langerhans (at protein level) . Widely expressed. Weakly expressed in leukocytes and fetal thymus.
