NIFK (MKI67 FHA Domain-interacting Nucleolar Phosphoprotein, Nucleolar Phosphoprotein Nopp34, Nucleolar Protein interacting with the FHA Domain of pKI-67, hNIFK, NIFK, MKI67IP, NOPP34)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Nuclear Proteins

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid PBS, 0.05% sodium azide, pH 7.2.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 196-245 of Human NIFK.

The structural proteins for the complex metalloenzyme nitrogenase include NIFK, NIFD and NIFH. These proteins are all necessary for archaeal and bacterial nitrogen fixation. The NIFK gene encodes the b subunit of the nitrogenase molybdenum-iron (MoFe) tetramer. NIFK localizes to the nucleolus where it interactes with the fork-head associated domain of the proliferation marker protein Ki-67 in a mitosis-specific and phosphorylation-dependent manner. NIFK is widely expressed in adult tissues, suggesting other functions in addition to its interaction with Ki-67, which is only expressed in proliferating cells.
