VPRBP Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Affinity Purified VPR Antibody
During virus entry, involved in the transport of the viral pre-integration (PIC) complex to the nucleus (PubMed:12417576). This function is crucial for viral infection of non-dividing macrophages (PubMed:12417576). May act directly at the nuclear pore complex, by binding nucleoporins phenylalanine-glycine (FG)-repeat regions. During virus replication, may deplete host UNG protein, and incude G2-M cell cycle arrest(PubMed:7666531, PubMed:7474100). Acts by targeting specific host proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome, through association with the cellular CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex by direct interaction with host VPRPB/DCAF-1. Cell cycle arrest reportedly occurs within hours of infection and is not blocked by antiviral agents, suggesting that it is initiated by the Vpr carried into the virion. Additionally, Vpr induces apoptosis in a cell cycle dependent manner suggesting that these two effects are mechanistically linked. Detected in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of AIDS patient, Vpr may also induce cell death to bystander cells (PubMed:11000244).

Small volumes of anti-VPRBP antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS540237 is an antibody targeting VPRBP. Also known as VPRBP Antibody Affinity Purified. Reactive in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1. Host: Rabbit.
