RABBIT ANTI hnRNP R

Rabbit anti Human hnRNP R antibody recognizes the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein R

The hnRNP R protein 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. Encoded by HNRNPR gene, hnRNP R has three repeats of quasi-RRM domains that bind to RNAs and also contains a nuclear localization motif. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for HNRNPR (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human hnRNP R antibody detects a band of 82 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
