Reactivity Key:  H=Human  Mk=Monkey
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.

Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

APR3 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total APR3 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro29 of human APR3 protein (isoform a). Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HL-60 cells, untreated or treated with retinoic acid for the indicated times (RA; 1 μM), using APR3 Antibody.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293T cells, mock transfected (-) or transfected with an expression construct encoding tagged APR3 (+), using APR3 Antibody. The construct was kindly provided by Drs. Timothy Peterson and Erin O'Shea, Harvard University, Boston MA.

Background

Apoptosis related protein 3 (APR3), also known as C2orf28, is a membrane protein identified in HL-60 cells treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and was later found to be induced by ATRA in other sensitive cell lines (1,2). APR3 is also up-regulated by NFAT and NF-κB activities (3). Regulation of APR3 by ATRA suggests a role in cell differentiation, but the mechanism of action is still unclear. Overexpression of APR3 can inhibit proliferation by inducing G1/S cell cycle arrest and decreasing expression of cyclin D1 (2). APR3 has also been shown to interact with NELL-1 to regulate osteoblast differentiation (4).
