Rabbit anti-Human NAE1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q13564

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NAE1

Target Full Name

NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 regulatory subunit

Target Function

Regulatory subunit of the dimeric UBA3-NAE1 E1 enzyme. E1 activates NEDD8 by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of the catalytic cysteine, yielding a NEDD8-UBA3 thioester and free AMP. E1 finally transfers NEDD8 to the catalytic cysteine of UBE2M. Necessary for cell cycle progression through the S-M checkpoint. Overexpression of NAE1 causes apoptosis through deregulation of NEDD8 conjugation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane. Note=Colocalizes with APP in lipid rafts.

Target Protein Families

Ubiquitin-activating E1 family, ULA1 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous in fetal tissues. Expressed throughout the adult brain.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene binds to the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Beta-amyloid precursor protein is a cell surface protein with signal-transducing properties, and it is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the encoded protein can form a heterodimer with UBE1C and bind and activate NEDD8, a ubiquitin-like protein. This protein is required for cell cycle progression through the S/M checkpoint. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
