Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. Negatively regulates Rho activity by interacting with AKAP13/LBC. Acts as a transcriptional activator of the MYC gene; binds DNA non-specifically (PubMed:8392752). Exhibits histidine protein kinase activity. .
Scientific background (datasheet): NME2 (NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 2) also called non-metastatic cells 2, protein (NM23B) expressed in, NM23-H2, NM23B or NDPKB, is identical to the beta subunit of human erythrocyte NDP kinase. Little to no expression was detected in other mouse tissues examined. Using Northern blot analysis, Masse et al. (2002) detected high expression of mouse Nme2, which they called nm23-M2, in heart, liver, and kidney, with intermediate expression in skeletal muscle. In situ hybridization of 15-day postcoitum mouse embryos showed ubiquitous Nme2 expression. The mouse and human NME2 genes contain 5 exons and span about 6.0 kb. The NME2 gene is mapped on 17q21.33. Srivastava et al. (2006) concluded that histidine phosphorylation regulates KCa3.1 channel activity and that NDPBK is critical to the channel activity and the activation of CD4 T cells.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, ruffle. Isoform 2 is mainly cytoplasmic and isoform 1 and isoform 2 are excluded from the nucleolus. Colocalizes with ITGB1 and ITGB1BP1 at the edge or peripheral ruffles and lamellipodia during the early stages of cell spreading on fibronectin or collagen but not on vitronectin or laminin substrates.
Tissue details (datasheet): Ubiquitously expressed. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the NDK family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Nucleotide Messenger,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Pathways and Processes,Second Messenger,Signal Transduction,Tumor Suppressors.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
