Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-NPM (Ser4) (D19C1) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of NPM only when phosphorylated at Ser4.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues around Ser4 of human NPM. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts of HeLa cells, either untreated or nocodazole-treated, using Phospho-NPM (Ser4) (D19C1) XP® Rabbit mAb (upper). Lower panel shows total NPM using NPM Antibody #3542.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells using Phospho-NPM (Ser4) (D19C1) XP® Rabbit mAb compared to Propidium Iodide (PI)/RNase Staining Solution #4087. Anti-rabbit IgG (H+L), F(ab')2 Fragment (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #4412 was used as a secondary antibody.

Background

Nucleophosmin (NPM; also known as B23, numatrin or NO38) is an abundant phosphoprotein primarily found in nucleoli. It has been implicated in several distinct cellular functions, including assembly and transport of ribosomes, cytoplasmic/nuclear trafficking, regulation of DNA polymerase α activity, centrosome duplication and molecular chaperoning activities (1,2). The NPM gene is also known for its fusion with the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) receptor tyrosine kinase. The NPM portion contributes to transformation by providing a dimerization domain, which results in activation of the fused kinase (3,4).
