General description

MORC3 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 3) is popularly known as NXP2 (Nuclear matrix protein). It belongs to MORC-family nuclear proteins. MORC3 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. It contains GHL-ATPase, a CW-type zinc-finger and coiled coil domains. The protein is localized in the nucleus and PML (Promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies.

Immunogen

MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 3 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SUMOylation of MORC3 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 3) is responsible for association of the protein with PML (Promyelocytic leukaemia). In PML nuclear bodies MORC3 recruits and activates p53 to induce cellular senescence. Patients with cancer associated dermatomyositis and inflammatory myopathies contain antibodies to MORC3.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) are useful tools for identifying clinically homogeneous subsets and predicting prognosis of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) including polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM). Recent studies have shown that anti-NXP2 antibody (Ab) is a major MSA in

Many functional subdomains, including promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs), are formed in the mammalian nucleus. Various proteins are constitutively or transiently accumulated in PML NBs in a PML-dependent manner. MORC3 (microrchidia family CW-type zinc-finger 3), also known as NXP2

Since dermatomyositis (DM) is associated with an increased risk of malignancy, accurate identification of patients likely to harbor cancers is important. Using immunoprecipitations from radiolabeled cell lysates, several groups recently showed that anti-transcription intermediary factor 1γ (anti-TIF-1γ) antibodies are associated

Using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a nuclear matrix protein, we selected a cDNA clone from a lambdagt11 human placenta cDNA library. This cDNA encoded a 939-amino acid protein designated nuclear matrix protein NXP-2. Northern blot analysis indicated that NXP-2
