REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

Importin 9 also known as RANBP9 or IPO9 is a nuclear transport receptor with a molecular mass of approximately 107 kDa. This protein facilitates the transport of molecules into the nucleus a process essential for cellular function. Importin 9 is expressed in various tissues and plays a significant role in shuttling proteins and some RNA species across the nuclear envelope. As a member of the importin family it interacts with nuclear localization signals on target proteins steering them through nuclear pore complexes.
Biological function summary
Importin 9 participates in intracellular transport by binding cargo proteins in the cytoplasm and transporting them into the nucleus. It operates as part of the larger nuclear transport complex which relies on the Ran GTPase system for direction and timing. Importin 9's role is pivotal in regulating gene expression and cell cycle activities as transported molecules often influence transcriptional activity within the nucleus. This regulation assists in maintaining normal cellular functions and adaptations to stress signals.
Pathways
Importin 9 is integral to the nucleocytoplasmic transport pathway essential for several cellular processes including the regulation of signal transduction and chromatin remodeling. Ran GTPase facilitates the release of cargo once Importin 9 reaches the nucleus while the protein Importin β plays a cooperative role in many pathways. Together they ensure the correct localization of proteins necessary for DNA replication and repair highlighting Importin 9's role in DNA-related processes.
Dysfunction of Importin 9 links to neurological conditions and cancer. Abnormal regulation of nuclear transport may contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases where Importin 9 collaborates with Tau protein in neuronal cells. In oncology altered Importin 9 activity has connections to tumorigenesis often involving the c-Myc protein where misregulated nuclear transport leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation and cancer progression.
