Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
GPNMB Antibody
Purified Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Application 
| WB, IHC, E |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | Q14956 |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Host | Mouse |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Clone Names | 7C10E5 |
| Isotype | IgG1 |
| Calculated MW | 64kDa |
| Description | The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein which shows homology to the pMEL17 precursor, a melanocyte-specific protein. GPNMB shows expression in the lowly metastatic human melanoma cell lines and xenografts but does not show expression in the highly metastatic cell lines. GPNMB may be involved in growth delay and reduction of metastatic potential. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
| Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human GPNMB (AA: 31-260) expressed in E. Coli. |
| Formulation | Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide |
| Gene ID | 10457 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Transmembrane glycoprotein NMB, Transmembrane glycoprotein HGFIN, GPNMB, HGFIN, NMB |
| Dilution | E~~1/10000 WB~~1/500 - 1/2000 IHC~~1/200 - 1/1000 |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | GPNMB Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | GPNMB |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | HGFIN {ECO:0000303|PubMed:12609765}, NMB |
| Function | Could be a melanogenic enzyme. |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Melanosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed, but very low expression, if any, in the brain (PubMed:12609765, PubMed:16609006). Expressed in the epidermis with higher levels in melanocytes compared with keratinocytes and Langerhans cells (at protein level) (PubMed:29336782). Expressed in peripheral blood, but not bone marrow mononuclear cells (PubMed:12609765). Expressed in tissue macrophages, including liver Kuppfer cells and lung alveolar macrophages, in podocytes and in some cells of the ciliary body of the eye (at protein level) (PubMed:16489096). May be overexpressed in various cancers, including melanoma and glioblastoma multiforme (PubMed:7814155, PubMed:16489096, PubMed:16609006). |
