General Information
Biological Significance
p97 ATPase / VCP (also described as valosin-containing protein) is implicated in homotypic membrane fusion events and is related to the N-ethyl maleimide-sensitive fusion protein NSF/Sec18p. The antibody reacts with the p97 subunit of 15S Mg2+-ATPase. p97/VCP is involved in ubiquitin-proteasome dependent protein degradation processes and involvement was also found e.g. in the formation of neuronal inclusion bodies in neuro-degenerative diseseases (e.g. Parkinson’s disease).
