NUP98-Polyclonal Antibodies

Nup98-Nup96 (also known as Nup196, ADIR2 or ADAR2), encoded by NUP98 gene, is a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) . It is first synthesized as 186-198 kDa Nup98-Nup96 precursors and the precursors shortly undergo autoproteolysis to give rise to two nucleoporins, the amino-terminal Nup98 (Nup98-N) and carboxy-terminal Nup96 (Nup96-C). Both of Nup98 and Nup96 are localized to the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC. This antibody was raised against the carboxy-terminal region of Nup98-Nup96, it recognizes all Nup98-Nup96 proteins except Nup98-N. Since the autoproteolysis is very rapid this antibody usually detected 98-115 kDa Nup96 protein in multiple cell lines. It is notable that RNA-editing deaminase 1 (Gene ID: 104), also named ADAR2, is a different protein from Nup98-Nup96 (ADAR2).
