Background:

Nova-1 and Nova-2 are members of a superfamily of protein regulators of RNA metabolism in neurons. Both are nuclear RNA binding proteins with K homology motifs, conserved protein sequences which bind to RNA (1,2). Nova proteins, normally sequestered in the central nervous system, are expressed by systemic tumors in patients with the autoimmune disorder paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia (POMA) (3,4). Nova-1 is expressed in the hindbrain and ventral spinal cord and Nova-2 is expressed in the neocortex and hippocampus (4). Nova-1 is necessary for regulating neuron-specific alternative splicing of the glycine receptor Alpha2 pre-mRNA (5).

Specificity:

Nova1 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Nova1 protein.
