Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

EGR3 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total EGR3 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Phe160 of human EGR3 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from either 293T cells, mock transfected (-) or transfected (+) with a cDNA expression construct encoding full-length human EGR3 (hEGR3), or mouse and rat brain tissue using EGR3 Antibody.

Background

Early growth response 3 (EGR3) is a zinc finger transcription factor and one of four members of the early growth response family (1). Members of this family are basally expressed in the brain (2) and are immediate early response genes that are important for the induction of cellular programs of differentiation, proliferation, and cell death in response to environmental stimuli (1). EGR3 plays important roles in cellular growth and neuronal development (2) and an essential role in learning and memory processing of both short- and long-term hippocampus-dependent memory; it also mediates adaptation to stress and novelty (3). Research studies show that a lack of EGR3 results in abnormal neuronal and T cell development (4).
