methylated at their carboxyl-terminal ends. Prenylation was
initially believed to be important only for membrane attachment.
However, another role for prenylation appears to be its importance
in protein-protein interactions. The only nuclear proteins known to
be prenylated in mammalian cells are prelamin A- and B-type lamins.
Prelamin A is farnesylated and carboxymethylated on the cysteine
residue of a carboxyl-terminal CaaX motif. This
post-translationally modified cysteine residue is removed from
prelamin A when it is endoproteolytically processed into mature
lamin A. The protein encoded by this gene binds to the prenylated
prelamin A carboxyl-terminal tail domain. It may be a component of
a prelamin A endoprotease complex. The encoded protein is located
in the nucleus, where it partially colocalizes with the nuclear
lamina. It shares limited sequence similarity with iron-only
bacterial hydrogenases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene,
including one with a novel exon that is generated by RNA editing.

Product Notes
The NARF narf (Catalog #AAA9202355) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 134-160. The NARF Antibody (Center) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's NARF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NARF narf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NARF, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
