AIMS To identify the NOV protein detected by immunofluorescence in the nucleus of human cancer cell lines to establish whether targeting to the nucleus reflects dual paracrine and intracrine biological functions of NOV, as has been reported previously for several signalling peptides and proteins. METHODS Nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were prepared from 143 and HeLa cells in which nuclear ...
