---|---|
Synonyms | NOS1 |
Function | May act as a translational repressor which regulates translation of specific mRNAs by forming a complex with PUM2 that associates with the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. Capable of interfering with the proadhesive and anti-invasive functions of E-cadherin. Up-regulates the production of MMP14 to promote tumor cell invasion. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm Note=Colocalizes with SNAPIN and PUM2 in the perinuclear region of germ cells. |
Tissue Location | Testis and ovary (at protein level). Predominantly expressed in testis. Specifically expressed during germline development. In adult tissues, it is mainly expressed in spermatogonia, the stem cells of the germline. Also expressed during meiosis in spermatocytes. Not present in late, post-meiotic stage germ cells Expressed in fetal ovaries, while it is weakly or not expressed in mature postmeiotic oocytes, suggesting that it may be expressed in premeiotic female germ cells. Expressed at high levels only in the E- cadherin deficient cell lines. Highly expressed in lung carcinomas and mostly detected in invasive tumor cells and its expression correlates with tumor aggressiveness. |

Background
Nanos1 Antibody: Nanos1 is one of three known mammalian homologs to the Drosophila gene nanos. Nanos1 is an RNA-binding protein containing a zinc-finger motif and is expressed in the developing nervous system and continues in the adult brain. Interestingly, unlike mice deficient in either nanos2 or nanos3, mice lacking the nanos1 gene develop normally with no sign of abnormalities. Recently it has been found that expression of nanos1 mRNA is down-regulated by E-cadherin in a human breast cancer cell line and the amino-terminal domain on Nanos1 interacts with the E-cadherin-binding protein p120ctn. Furthermore, overexpression of Nanos1 in human colorectal DLD1 cancer cells functionally abolished cell-cell adhesion, allowing the cancer cells to develop strong migratory and invasive properties. These results suggest that targeting Nanos1 might prove an effective strategy in the treatment of E-cadherin-negative tumors.
