NDPK-B antibody recognizes Nucleoside diphosphate kinase B, a ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic and nuclear enzyme encoded by the human NME2 gene. NDPK-B antibody detects a member of the nucleoside diphosphate kinase family that catalyzes the transfer of gamma-phosphates from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates, thereby maintaining intracellular pools of nucleotides required for DNA replication, RNA transcription, and cellular metabolism. NDPK-B is primarily localized to the cytoplasm but may also be detected in the nucleus depending on cellular context.
NDPK-B antibody, also referred to as NME2 antibody and Non-metastatic cells 2 protein antibody in the literature, targets a highly conserved enzyme that functions as a hexameric protein complex. NDPK-B contains the characteristic histidine residue within its active site that becomes transiently phosphorylated during catalytic activity. Through this phosphotransfer mechanism, NDPK-B supports nucleotide homeostasis and participates in regulation of signaling pathways that rely on GTP availability.
The NME2 gene is located on chromosome 17q21.3 and is part of the NME gene family, which includes NME1 and other related isoforms. Members of this family have been implicated in diverse biological processes including metastasis suppression, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. NDPK-B has been shown to interact with transcription factors and to influence gene expression through regulatory protein-protein interactions.
In addition to its enzymatic role in nucleotide metabolism, NDPK-B has been associated with regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Altered expression of NME family members has been reported in several malignancies, where expression levels may correlate with tumor progression or metastatic potential depending on tumor type and cellular context.
NDPK-B participates in pathways influencing cytoskeletal organization, vesicle trafficking, and receptor signaling, partly through modulation of small GTP-binding proteins. Its broad expression across tissues reflects its fundamental role in maintaining cellular nucleotide balance.
Clone NME2/6436 is a monoclonal antibody designed to target NDPK-B protein in research applications. An antibody to NDPK-B is suitable for detecting NME2 expression and for investigating nucleotide metabolism, signal transduction, and tumor biology in relevant experimental systems.
Optimal dilution of the NDPK-B antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant full-length human Nucleoside diphosphate kinase B protein was used as the immunogen for the NDPK-B antibody.
Aliquot the NDPK-B antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
