CTRP3 Antibody


Catalog#:3565

Adipose tissue of an organism plays a major role in regulating physiologic and pathologic processes such as metabolism and immunity by producing and secreting a variety of bioactive molecules termed adipokines (reviewed in 1). One highly conserved family of adipokines is adiponectin/ACRP30 and its structural and functional paralogs, the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-?-related proteins (CTRPs) 1-7 (2). Unlike adiponectin, which is expressed exclusively by differentiated adipocytes, the CTRPs are expressed in a wide variety of tissues (3). An analysis of the crystal structure of adiponectin revealed a structural and evolutionary link between TNF and C1q-containing proteins, suggesting that these proteins arose from a common ancestral innate immunity gene (4). Multiple isoforms of human CTRP3 have been reported. It has been suggested that CTRP3 may play a role in skeletal development (5).

Additional Names: CTRP3 (IN), CORS26
Description

Other Product Images
Source:CTRP3 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide from near the center of human CTRP3.
Purification: Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
Clonality and Clone: This is a polyclonal antibody.
Host: CTRP3 antibody was raised in rabbit.
Please use anti-rabbit secondary antibodies.
Immunogen: Human CTRP3 / CORS26 (Intermediate Domain) Peptide (Cat. No. 3565P)
Application: CTRP3 antibody can be used for the detection of CTRP3 by Western blot at 1 - 2 µg/ml.Mouse heart cell lysate can be used as positive control. CTRP3 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. These proteins are often highly modified post-translationally and migrate in SDS-PAGE at positions other than their predicted size.
Tested Application(s): E, WB, IHC
Buffer: Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
Blocking Peptide:Cat. No. 3565P - CTRP3 Peptide
Long-Term Storage: CTRP3 antibody can be stored at 4ºC, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
Positive Control:
1. Cat. No. 1401 - Mouse Heart Tissue Lysate
Species Reactivity: H, M
GI Number: 62739183
Accession Number: NP_852100
Short Description: (IN) A novel adipokine
