Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Nucleolin (NCL) is an anti-apoptotic phosphoprotein. It is highly expressed in the nucleolus as well as other sub-cellular organelles._x000D_ Find more information here_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 2-17 of human nucleolin conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence differs by 4 amino acids in rat and mouse nucleolin, and by one amino acid in the rat homolog protein NRP (nucleolin related protein)._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Nucleolin (NCL) interacts with proteins participating in microtubule nucleation. It takes part in the transcription of polymerase I, formation of ribosomes and duplication of centrosomes. NCL is also a transcription regulator. Studies have shown that it is highly expressed in many tumors.
