High impact information on NPM2

  • In contrast to NPM1 and NPM-like proteins in invertebrates, NPM2 and NPM3 have a polyphyletic origin [1].
  • To investigate NPM2's role in radioresistance acquisition, we transfected HeLa cells with NPM2 cDNA and analyzed survival after irradiation of the clones obtained [2].
  • FBXW1 (betaTRCP1 or BTRC1)-FGF8-NPM3 locus at human chromosome 10q24.32, FBXW11 (betaTRCP2 or BTRC2)-FGF18-NPM1 locus at human chromosome 5q35.1, and FGF17-NPM2 locus at human chromosome 8p21.3 were paralogous regions within the human genome [3].
  • Four oocyte-specific genes (MATER, ZAR1, NPM2 and FIGLA) were detected in hGVO for the first time [4].
 

Biological context of NPM2

 

Anatomical context of NPM2

  • The nucleophosmin/nucleoplasmin (NPM) family of molecular chaperones encompasses members ubiquitously expressed in many somatic tissues (NPM1 and -3) or specific to oocytes and eggs (NPM2) [1].
 

Other interactions of NPM2

  • This variant encoded for a 35-amino acid truncated NPM (NPM2) [2].
