Anti-NUBP1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

NUBP1 also known as NBP as is expressed in several tissues with the highest being in the lung and testis. NUBP1 appears to interact with actin and the cytoskeleton and is required for centrosome duplication but it is also need for proper synthesis of iron sulfur proteins and the protein also binds ATP. NUBP1 has roles in cell growth, cellular iron homeostasis, centrosome localization, iron-sulfur cluster assembly, and apolipoprotein modification. NUBP1 is localized to the cytoplasm. Interestingly too, recent research indicates that mutations in NUBP1 in mice lead defects in lung development and eye cataracts, many of which are traced back to NUBP1 role in regulating centrosome dynamics and microtubule organization.

Component of the BHC complex, a corepressor complex that represses transcription of neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. The BHC complex is recruited at RE1/NRSE sites by REST and acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. In the BHC complex, it may act as a scaffold. Inhibits KDM1A-mediated demethylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 in vitro, suggesting a role in demethylation regulation.
