Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets nuclear prelamin A recognition factor (gene NARF) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 51.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 52 kDa.
NARF (nuclear prelamin A recognition factor) is a nuclear protein that binds the farnesylated C-terminus of prelamin A. It shares homology with iron-only hydrogenases, but its biological function has not been fully characterized.

Immunogen
Recombinant human NARF fragment (His41–Gln353), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places nuclear prelamin A recognition factor in the nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitous. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
