NUP50 Antibody recognizes nucleoporin 50, a nuclear transport protein encoded by the NUP50 gene. Also known as Nuclear Pore Complex Protein Nup50 and NPAP60, this protein is a dynamic component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a large multiprotein structure embedded within the nuclear envelope. Nuclear pore complexes regulate the movement of proteins, RNA molecules, and ribonucleoprotein particles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. NUP50 participates in this transport system by facilitating nuclear protein import and regulating interactions between transport receptors and their cargo.
The nuclear pore complex consists of multiple nucleoporins organized into structural and functional subcomplexes. Some nucleoporins form the central scaffold, while others establish selective transport pathways or interact with soluble nuclear transport factors. Nucleoporin 50 associates with the nuclear basket region of the NPC and is also distributed within the nucleoplasm. Unlike relatively stable structural nucleoporins, NUP50 exhibits dynamic interactions with nuclear transport machinery, allowing it to participate directly in the regulation of cargo delivery.
One of the best-characterized functions of NUP50 involves the importin-alpha-dependent nuclear import pathway. Proteins containing classical nuclear localization signals are recognized by importin-alpha and transported into the nucleus through interactions with importin-beta. Following nuclear entry, NUP50 binds importin-alpha and promotes the release of imported cargo. This activity facilitates the completion of nuclear import and contributes to the recycling of transport receptors for subsequent rounds of protein trafficking.
NUP50 also interacts with other components of the nuclear pore complex, including NUP153, which is associated with the nuclear basket. These interactions help coordinate nuclear transport events at the nucleoplasmic side of the pore. Because nuclear import controls the intracellular distribution of transcription factors, signaling proteins, and other regulatory molecules, NUP50 contributes indirectly to processes requiring accurate nuclear protein localization.
Beyond its established role in nuclear import, Nucleoporin 50 has been investigated for possible connections to chromatin organization and gene regulation. Its nuclear distribution and interactions with transport-associated proteins suggest that NUP50 may help coordinate nucleocytoplasmic trafficking with broader nuclear activities. However, these additional regulatory functions remain less extensively characterized than its role in importin-alpha-mediated cargo release.
Research involving NUP50 is relevant to understanding nuclear pore organization, transport receptor recycling, and the regulation of nuclear protein accumulation. An NUP50 Antibody from NSJ Bioreagents supports investigations of Nucleoporin 50 expression, nuclear transport mechanisms, and nuclear pore complex biology in human, mouse, and rat samples.

Optimal dilution of the NUP50 Antibody / Nucleoporin 50 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human NUP50 was used as the immunogen for the NUP50 antibody.
After reconstitution, the NUP50 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
