The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), immunocytochemistry, antibody-based supershift assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) act in several biological activities such as transcription, pre- mRNA processing, cytoplasmic mRNA translation and turnover. hnRNP-K is found both in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria, therefore, it was found to be involved in many biological events in the cell like: transcription, chromatin remodeling, splicing and translation. hnRNP-K is regulated by different signaling cascades and can bind kinases. As a consequence, it can mediate signals from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.
