Biological background
Biological context: GTP-binding protein involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport. Required for the import of protein into the nucleus and also for RNA export. Involved in chromatin condensation and control of cell cycle (By similarity). The complex with BIRC5/ survivin plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules. Acts as a negative regulator of the kinase activity of VRK1 and VRK2. .
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Nucleus envelope . Predominantly nuclear during interphase. Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis. Colocalizes with NEMP1 at the nuclear envelope (By similarity). Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. ., tissue context: Expressed in a variety of tissues. ..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare IL15 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of IL15 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify IL15-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Interleukin (IL)-15 is a cytokine with the ability to stimulate the proliferation activity of Th1 and/or Th2 lymphocytes. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q31 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. IL-15 is a novel cytokine whose effects on T-cell activation and proliferation are similar to those of interleukin-2 (IL-2), presumably because IL-15 utilizes the beta and gamma chains of the IL-2 receptor. IL-15 can play a role in the initiation and outcome of acute and chronic rejection. Anti-IL-15 therapy in combination with classic immunosuppression therapy might be beneficial in the prevention of acute, and especially chronic, allograft rejection.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Nucleus envelope . Predominantly nuclear during interphase. Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis. Colocalizes with NEMP1 at the nuclear envelope (By similarity). Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. .
