The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is one of the most massive and structurally complex protein assemblies in the nuclear envelope of eukaryotic cells. Composed of over 30 distinct nucleoporins (Nups) arranged in an eightfold symmetrical structure, the NPC serves as a highly regulated gateway for macromolecular transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In addition to mediating the bidirectional trafficking of proteins and RNA, the NPC plays pivotal roles in chromatin organization, signal transduction, and cell cycle control. With the rapid development of high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear pore complex proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating its conformational dynamics, interaction complexity, and post-translational regulation.

Our Nuclear Pore Complex Proteomics Services cover the entire workflow—from NPC isolation and purification to protein identification, quantification, and interactome analysis—empowering researchers to uncover the mechanistic roles of NPCs under various physiological and pathological states.
Services at MtoZ Biolabs
To support comprehensive investigations of NPC biology, MtoZ Biolabs offers customizable Nuclear Pore Complex Proteomics Services across the following modules:
· NPC Isolation and Purification
We employ density gradient centrifugation, ultracentrifugation, or immunoaffinity approaches to isolate high-purity NPCs from cells or tissues, ensuring high specificity and structural integrity for downstream analysis.
· Protein Identification and Quantification
Through LC-MS/MS-based proteomic workflows, we profile NPC composition and quantify expression changes across experimental conditions, enabling precise comparison across time points, treatments, or biological states.
· Interaction Network Analysis
Using crosslinking, pull-down assays, or co-immunoprecipitation, we map intra-Nup interactions and their associations with transport receptors, chromatin complexes, and RNA-binding proteins.
· Post-translational Modification Profiling
We provide targeted PTM detection of NPC components—such as phosphorylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination—offering insights into regulatory mechanisms influencing nuclear transport and signal integration.
Analysis Workflow
1. Sample Preparation and Nuclear Membrane Extraction
Cells are lysed using high-salt buffers to extract nuclear envelope-enriched fractions.
2. NPC Enrichment and Purification
NPCs are purified using immunoprecipitation or density gradient centrifugation from cultured cells or tissues.
3. Protein Digestion and Mass Spectrometry
Proteins are enzymatically digested and analyzed via LC-MS/MS using high-resolution Orbitrap systems.
4. Database Search and Quantification
We apply multi-database and multi-software algorithms to enhance the identification and quantification of low-abundance NPC proteins.
5. Bioinformatics and Reporting
We perform GO/KEGG enrichment, domain conservation analysis, and nuclear transport pathway modeling, delivering clear, publication-ready reports with biological insight visualizations.
