Anti-nucleoporin 88 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the NUP88 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 741 amino acid residues and a mass of 83.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. It is known to be a component of nuclear pore complex. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Fetal akinesia deformation sequence. Other names for this target antigen include nuclear pore complex protein Nup88, karyoporin, nuclear pore complex protein 88, nucleoporin 88kDa, nucleoporin Nup88, and FADS4. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
