A polyclonal antibody specific for human NDPKD has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. NDPKD in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human NDPKD, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nNME4 also known as nucleoside diphosphate kinase D is a mitochondrial protein with a mass of approximately 17 kDa. It is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is part of the NDP (nucleoside diphosphate) kinase family. This protein plays a role in transferring gamma-phosphates from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates facilitating essential cellular energy transactions. NME4's catalytic activity helps maintain the balance and availability of nucleotides within the mitochondria.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nNucleoside diphosphate kinase activity of NME4 contributes to energy homeostasis in cells. It assists in the generation of nucleoside triphosphates necessary for mitochondrial function and integrity. NME4 operates as part of multimeric complexes within the mitochondria ensuring efficient energy metabolism. Its role extends to contributing to cellular signaling pathways by providing the necessary energy substrates for a variety of cellular responses and activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nResearchers have found that NME4 is involved in the regulation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. It interacts with other proteins involved in apoptosis such as Bcl-2 family members by influencing the mitochondrial outer membrane permeability. Additionally NME4 participates in pathways related to oxidative phosphorylation working alongside other proteins like ATP synthase to optimize energy production and utilization. These interactions underpin its versatility in sustaining cellular energy requirements and influencing cell survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nDysfunction in NME4 activity has been linked to mitochondrial diseases and cancer. In particular alterations in NME4 have implications in mitochondrial myopathy where energy production becomes compromised. Similarly cancer studies have shown changes in NME4 expression affect tumor growth and survival often in conjunction with proteins involved in metabolic regulation like p53. Understanding NME4's interactions and modifications can provide insights into its role in these diseases and potential therapeutic targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855681671337,"sku":"ab283968","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab283968","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
