The gene NUP153 (153kDa nucleoporin) is mapped to human chromosome 6p22.3. The encoded protein has a NE (nuclear envelope)- and NPC (nuclear pore complex)-targeting site, four zinc-fingers and a phenylalanine-glycine-repeat.
Synonyms: Anti-HNUP153; Anti-nucleoporin 153kDa
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: NUP153 (153kDa nucleoporin) is a nuclear pore protein needed for nuclear import. It is involved in importin a/ß - mediated import and mRNA export from the nucleus. Poliovirus and rhinovirus infection results in cleavage of this protein, thereby disrupting nucleocytoplasmic trafficking. Similarly, cardiovirus infection results in NUP153 phosphorylation, thereby modulating nuclear pore complex. On the other hand, NUP153 is involved in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-1 nuclear import and integration.
