Gene Information

human ... NOVA1(4857)

General description

NOVA1 (Neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1) is a neuron-specific nuclear RNA-binding protein expressed in brain, specifically in hippocampus, hypothalamus, cingulate cortex, and medial habenular nucleus.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human NOVA1

Application

Anti-NOVA1 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NOVA1 (Neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1) is associated with several post-transcriptional regulation of RNA metabolism including RNA splicing, editing to transport, localization, and degradation. It may be involved in mediating neuronal responsiveness. It encodes a protein which has homology with the RNA-binding protein hnRNP K, the yeast splicing protein MER1. Since, it has some homology with hnRNP K, it may influence the regulation of RNA splicing or metabolism in developing neurons. The importance of NOVA1 as prognostic marker has been reported in HCC (Hepatocellular carcinoma). Alteration in gene causes a disorder associated with breast cancer and motor dysfunction i.e. paraneoplastic opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia (POMA).

Neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1 (Nova1) is a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein in human paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia accompanying with malignant tumors, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. In this study, we found that overexpressed intratumoral Nova1 was associated with

Nova-1, an autoantigen in paraneoplastic opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia (POMA), a disorder associated with breast cancer and motor dysfunction, is a neuron-specific nuclear RNA binding protein. We have identified in vivo Nova-1 RNA ligands by combining affinity-elution-based RNA selection with protein-RNA
