Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human NCKAP1 recombinant protein (Position: S2-K201). Human NCKAP1 shares 98.5% and 98% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat NCKAP1, respectively. (reported region: S2-K201).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 129 kDa; calculated MW: 128790 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Nck-associated protein 1; Nck-associated protein 1. Nck-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCKAP1 gene. By somatic cell hybrid analysis, the NCKAP1 gene was mapped to chromosome 2. NCKAP1 is a predicted type II transmembrane protein, with a C-terminal transmembrane domain. It was demonstrated that suppression of NCKAP1 expression using an antisense NCKAP1 oligonucleotide induced apoptosis of neuronal cells. Functional note: Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. Actin remodeling activity is regulated by RAC1. Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . At the interface between the lamellipodial actin meshwork and the membrane. . Expression/tissue context: Expressed in all tissues examined except peripheral blood leukocytes, with highest expression in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle.
