AffiAB® Anti-NXF1 Antibody [JE40-63]

The constitutive transport element (CTE) of type D retroviruses serves as a signal of nuclear export for unspliced viral RNAs. TAP (tip-associating protein, also known as NXF1) mediates the export of CTE-containing simian type D retroviral RNAs through binding directly to the CTE. TAP is associated with a recognized mRNA export pathway and is a member of the multigene family of NXF proteins. NXF proteins belong to an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins, which are characterized by a leucine-rich-repeat domain (LRR) followed by a region known as the nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2) -like domain.
