The centrosome is a non-membranous subcellular structure composed of a mother and daughter centriole. The mother centriole function as the assembly point for the primary cilium, a microtubule-based sensory organelle, which is involved in signal transduction...Read more

SUN2 (Sad1 and UNC84 domain containing 2), found in the nuclear membrane of cells, is an essential protein for many cellular processes. SUN plays a large role in the organization of multi-nucleated muscle cells, and dysregulation of SUN can cause muscular dystrophy among other diseases...Read more

Autophagosomes play a crucial role in recycling, by degrading cellular components and providing building blocks for renewal och cell components. Last year, we published a post about autophagy, which was the subject of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

We show, for the first time, images of HPA antibodies that co-localize with the autophagosomes. These membrane bound vesicles are involved in degradation of cellular constituents through a process called autophagy. The protein detected is localized to the autophagosomes (green) in SH-SY5Y cells, a human neuroblastoma cell line from neural tissue...Read more

Diurnal cycle influence biological processes in all organisms, on a molecular level, through regulators of the circadian clock. The Nuclear factor interleukin-3-regulated protein is a component of the circadian clock in humans that also fluctuates with the seasons. The Human Protein Atlas team has stained in A-431 cells NFIL3 (green) in nuclear bodies with DNA (blue) and microtubules (red)...Read more

Next week on the 17th to 21th of September, the human proteome organization (HUPO), is hosting the 16th HUPO World Congress in Dublin, Ireland. Several Human Protein Atlas-associated researchers will attend the meeting and represent the project in various sessions, including plenary and invited lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions.

HUPO is an international scientific organization representing and promoting proteomics through international cooperation and collaborations by fostering the development of new technologies, techniques and training...Read more
