Background
The discovery of NPDC-1 (neuronal proliferation, differentiation and control protein 1) was the result of a study of genes that were preferentially expressed in immortalized neural precursor cell lines at the onset of contact inhibition of proliferation and subsequent differentiation. It was further found that transfection of transformed cells with NPDC-1 led to increased doubling times and suppression of many characteristics of transformation. NPDC-1 is differentially expressed in brain and lung and has been shown to interact directly with the transcription factor E2F-1 as well as D-type cyclins and cdk2. NPDC-1 has been identified as a modulator of transcriptional events mediated by retinoic acid and the protein level and activity of NPDC-1 have been shown to be regulated by phosphorylation mediated proteasomal degradation.

Source
Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from mice immunized with a synthetic peptide SLGSPVSSDPVHMS derived from human NPDC-1 protein (Gene ID: 56654) and mouse myeloma cells.

Product

Product Form: Unconjugated

Formulation: 20 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM sodium chloride, 50% glycerol, pH 7.5, 3mM sodium azide

Purification Method: Ion-exchange chromatography

Concentration: See vial for concentration

Specificity
Monoclonal Anti-NPDC-1 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 16E4 produced by immunizing mice with the peptide SLGSPVSSDPVHMS (Gene ID: 56654).
