Human AAAS(Aladin) ELISA Kit

Background

Aladin, also known as adracalin, is a nucleoporin that in humans is encoded by the AAAS gene, located on chromosome 12q13.Aladin is primarily expressed in the adrenal gland, brain, and peripheral nervous system. Mutations in the AAAS gene result in dysfunction or loss of function of the Aladin protein. It iwas linked to a triple A syndrome ( also known as Allgrove Syndrome) which occurs when the gene is mutated. The AAAs gene product is a protein of 60 Kd. Aladin is a component of the nuclear pore complex, to which it is attached by nucleoporin NDC1. Mutant aladin causes selective failure of nuclear protein import and hypersensitivity to oxidative stress
