Nucleoporin p62 Mouse, Unlabeled, Clone: 53, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) acts as a gate to mediate active transport of proteins and RNA into and out of the nucleus. Proteins actively transported into the nucleus through the NPC require specific nuclear localization sequences. Many of these nucleoporins contain N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues that are O-linked to serine or threonine. p62 is the best characterized member of a group of nucleoporins that line the central region of the NPC. A tightly associated complex is formed by p62 and two other nucleoporins, p54 and p58. p54 binds to a carboxy-terminal coiled-coil domain of p62 and p58 binds to a dimer of p54. The amino-terminal domain of p62 contains a series of XFXFX repeats and is joined to the coiled-coil domain by a threonine-rich linker segment. The major role of p62 is maintenance of the structural integrity of NPCs.
