Rabbit anti-Human NOP10 Polyclonal Antibody, Biotin conjugated

Uniprot Id

Q9NPE3

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NOP10

Target Full Name

H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit 3

Target Function

Required for ribosome biogenesis and telomere maintenance. Part of the H/ACA small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (H/ACA snoRNP) complex, which catalyzes pseudouridylation of rRNA. This involves the isomerization of uridine such that the ribose is subsequently attached to C5, instead of the normal N1. Each rRNA can contain up to 100 pseudouridine ('psi') residues, which may serve to stabilize the conformation of rRNAs. May also be required for correct processing or intranuclear trafficking of TERC, the RNA component of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) holoenzyme.

Target Involvement

Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive, 1 (DKCB1)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, Cajal body. Note=Also localized to Cajal bodies (coiled bodies).

Target Protein Families

NOP10 family

Target Synonyms

DKCB1; H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit 3; homolog of yeast Nop10p; MGC70651; NOLA3; NOP10; NOP10 ribonucleoprotein homolog (yeast); NOP10_HUMAN; NOP10P; Nucleolar protein 10; Nucleolar protein family A member 3; nucleolar protein family A, member 3 (H/ACA small nucleolar RNPs); snoRNP protein NOP10

Target Background

This gene is a member of the H/ACA snoRNPs (small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins) gene family. snoRNPs are involved in various aspects of rRNA processing and modification and have been classified into two families: C/D and H/ACA. The H/ACA snoRNPs also include the DKC1, NOLA1 and NOLA2 proteins. These four H/ACA snoRNP proteins localize to the dense fibrillar components of nucleoli and to coiled (Cajal) bodies in the nucleus. Both 18S rRNA production and rRNA pseudouridylation are impaired if any one of the four proteins is depleted. The four H/ACA snoRNP proteins are also components of the telomerase complex. This gene encodes a protein related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nop10p.
