General description

Nuclear RNA export factor 1 (also known as Tap protein) is encoded by the NXF1 gene. The protein expressed by this gene is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export factor gene. The Nuclear RNA export factor 1 protein is involved in export of mRNA species bearing retroviral constitutive transport elements (CTE) from the nucleus as well as in the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This protein is localized predominantly in the nucleoplasm at both the nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic faces of the nuclear pore complex. However, this protein shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and binds in vivo to poly(A) RNA. This protein is present in the nuclear Y14 complex and has been shown to interact with Aly/REF.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human NXF1.

Physical form

Rabbit polyclonal serum containing 0.05% sodium azide.

Unpurified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in A431 cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected NXF1 on 10 µg of A431 cell lysate.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Target description

~72 kDa observed. Two isoforms at 70 and 40 kDa have been described. Uncharacterized bands at ~48 and 100 kDa have been observed in some lysates.
