Background:  Nucleophosmin (NPM) also called B23, nutramin and NO38 is a ubiquitously expressed phosphoprotein involved in ribosome assembly/transport, cytoplasmic/nuclear trafficking, regulation of DNA polymerase alpha activity, centrosome duplication, and regulation of p53. It is involved in the acute response of mammalian cells to environmental stress, such as UV rays. NPM continuously shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. It has been shown to bind nucleic acid, prevent protein aggregation via its chaperone activities, protect enzymes during thermal denaturation, and facilitate renaturation of chemically denatured proteins. In its cellular structure role, there is evidence suggesting NPM is associated with the centrosome. It is the substrate of CDK2/cyclin E during duplication of centrosomes (cellular division).
