General description

NuMA1 or NuMA protein is an interesting and major component of the nuclear matrix of eukaryotic cells. NuMA1 is a highly abundant protein component that appears to serve a non-structural role but is needed for mitotic spindle poles and centrosome formation as well as a linker of microtubules. These functions are important for proper cytokinesis and the setup of the proper polarity axis during cell division. NuMA1 resides in the nuclear matrix during interphase. NuMA1 dissociates from condensing chromosomes during early prophase, and relocates to the spindle poles via a dynein/dynamin complex, and it remains there until the anaphase onset. Thus NuMA1 then can be found in the nucleus during cell rest and cytoplasmically and centrosome localized during cytokinesis.

Specificity

Recognizes NuMA1

Immunogen

Three different peptides corresponding to multiple locations of NuMA1 isoform 1. Peptide, region between amino acids 1-240. Peptide 2, amino acids 1300-1500. Peptide 3, amino acids 1860-2115. Note that these peptides are also found in isoform 2.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot was reported to detect NuMA1 in HeLa cells.

One of the impediments to the treatment of brain tumors (e.g., gliomas) has been the degree to which they expand, infiltrate surrounding tissue, and migrate widely into normal brain, usually rendering them "elusive" to effective resection, irradiation, chemotherapy, or gene
