Research Abstract

Detection and analysis of target proteins imported by karyopherin alpha 2(KPNA2) in HaCaT cells using tandem affinity purification method and mass spectrometry to investigate the roles of KPNA2 in the cell growth. Immunohistochemical staining using anti-KPNA2 antibody was performed in the skin diseases including psoriasis and squamous cell carcinomas to demonstrate the relation ship between KPNA2 and keratinocyte proliferation.
