NUP85 (Nucleoporin 85, also Nup75/nucleoporin 75 and FROUNT) is a 70-72kD member of the nucleoporin Nup85 family of proteins. It is one of nine members of the Nup107-160 subcomplex that performs at least two functions in the cell. First, it serves as an assembly point for nuclear pore formation, and may stabilize the bend that normally exists between the inner and outer nuclear membranes. Second, it appears to be quite stable, and during mitosis, promotes mitotic spindle assembly. Human NUP85 is 656aa in length. It is an a-helical protein with no obvious domain(s) or structural motif. Phosphorylation on Ser233, however, may regulate the overall interaction of the NUP107-160 subcomplex with the much larger nuclear pore. There one potential splice form that shows an alternative start site at Met47. Full-length NUP85 shares 92% aa identity with mouse NUP85. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
