TPX2 recombinant protein
TPX2 recombinant protein
Scientific Background: TPX2 is a nuclear proliferation-associated protein whose expression is restricted to cell cycle phases S, G2, and M (1). It mainly expressed in the lung carcinoma cell lines and also found in adult placenta, skeletal muscle, thymus, testis, and small intestine and in fetal brain, liver, and kidney.TPX2 is required for targeting STK6 to the spindle apparatus, and that STK6 may regulate the function of TPX2 during spindle assembly. TPX2 is mailnly function in mitotic spindle assembly likely contributes to its role in chromosome stability control and tumor suppression (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Function: Spindle assembly factor. Required for normal assembly of mitotic spindles. Required for normal assembly of microtubules during apoptosis. Required for chromatin and/or kinetochore dependent microtubule nucleation. Mediates AURKA localization to spindle microtubules. Activates AURKA by promoting its autophosphorylation at 'Thr-288' and protects this residue against dephosphorylation. Ref.13 Ref.17
Subunit structure: Interacts with AURKA. Ref.13 Ref.22 Ref.23
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton › spindle. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton › spindle pole. Note: During mitosis it is strictly associated with the spindle pole and with the mitotic spindle, whereas during S and G2, it is diffusely distributed throughout the nucleus. Is released from the nucleus in apoptotic cells and is detected on apoptotic microtubules. Ref.13 Ref.17
Tissue specificity: Expressed in lung carcinoma cell lines but not in normal lung tissues.
Developmental stage: Exclusively expressed in proliferating cells from the transition G1/S until the end of cytokinesis.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the TPX2 family.

Product Notes
The TPX2 tpx2 (Catalog #AAA515412) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is His tag!!Expression System||Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus!!Source Note||Recombinant full-length human TPX2 protein was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells. This product can be used for Aurora An activation in vitro. AAA Biotech's TPX2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Kinase Assay, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TPX2 tpx2 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 "TPX2, Recombinant Protein" 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
