Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K, also called Transformation up-regulated nuclear protein (TUNP), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HNRNPK gene. This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The hnRNPs are RNA binding proteins and they complex with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus, some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene is located in the nucleoplasm and has three repeats of KH domains that binds to RNAs. It is distinct among other hnRNP proteins in its binding preference; it binds tenaciously to poly(C). This protein is also thought to have a role during cell cycle progression. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene, however, not all of them are fully characterized.
Optimal dilution of the hnRNP K antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids D40-F463) was used as the immunogen for the hnRNP K antibody.
After reconstitution, the hnRNP K antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
