Gene Information

human ... NUP98(4928)

General description

Nuclear pore complex protein is a protein encoded by the nucleoporin 98 kDa (NUP98) gene in humans. NUP98 gene encodes a peripheral membrane protein nucleoporin that belongs to nucleoporin GLFG family. This protein is formed from a precursor protein of 186 kDa that after cleavage yields two nucleoporins, Nup96 and Nup98. The nuclear import and export takes place through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which is composed of unique proteins known as nucleoporins. The NUP98 gene of 122kb long, has 33 exons and is located on human chromosome 11p15.4.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human NUP98

Application

Anti-NUP98 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nucleoporin 98 kDa (NUP98) functions as a docking protein for cytosol mediated docking of import substrates. During mitosis, NUP98 interacts with nucleocytoplasmic transport factors Rae1 and regulates the destruction of the securin protein by the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). Thus, Nucleoporins play an important function in nucleocytoplasmic transport, transcription and mitosis. Nuclear pore complex (NPC) also plays a role during nuclear processes such as chromatin silencing, transcriptional regulation and DNA damage repair. NUP98-Rae1 complex prevents aneuploidy. Overexpression of NUP98 along with other proteins and several associated nuclear export factors dysregulate signaling pathways and transcription resulting in alteration of nucleoporin functionality, which may cause cancer. NUP98 acts as an important predictor of anthracycline-based chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer patients.

Hematologic malignancies are often associated with chromosomal rearrangements that lead to the expression of chimeric fusion proteins. Rearrangements of the genes encoding two nucleoporins, NUP98 and NUP214, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several types of hematologic malignancies, particularly
