Human Next to BRCA1 gene 1 protein (NBR1) ELISA Kit

Autophagy cargo receptor encoded by NBR1 was originally identified as an ovarian tumor antigen monitored in ovarian cancer. Autophagy cargo receptor contains a B-box/coiled-coil motif, which is present in many genes with transformation potential. It functions as a specific autophagy receptor for the selective autophagic degradation of peroxisomes by forming intracellular inclusions with ubiquitylated autophagic substrates. NBR1 is located on a region of chromosome 17q21.1 that is in close proximity to the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
