    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #70152. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #70152

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    eRF3a (F9H3X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total eRF3a protein. This antibody does not cross-react with eRF3b. This antibody detects a 170 kDa band of unknown origin in some samples.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro180 of human eRF3a protein, isoform 3.

    Background

    Eukaryotic release factor 3 (eRF3, GSPT) is an evolutionarily conserved class II release factor and member of the GTPase superfamily that cooperates with eRF1 in polypeptide translation termination (1). Paralogous genes encode a pair of eRF3 proteins (eRF3a/GSPT1, eRF3b/GSPT2) that share a conserved carboxy-terminal GTPase/eRF1-binding domain and a non-conserved amino-terminal PABP1 binding site (2). The eRF3 carboxy-terminal region is involved in translation termination through binding and activation of the eRF1 release factor (1). The amino-terminal region of eRF3 is not required for eRF1 binding and activation, but is implicated in control of mRNA stability (3,4). Expression of eRF3 proteins vary, with eRF3a ubiquitously expressed and proliferation-dependent, while eRF3b expression is more restricted to brain tissue (2,5,6). Research studies demonstrate that eRF3 undergoes caspase-mediated cleavage and degradation related to reduced protein synthesis during DNA damage-induced apoptosis (7). Additional studies indicate that polyglycine expansion of the eRF3a amino terminus is associated with an increased susceptibility to breast and gastric cancer (8,9). It is likely that the polyglycine expansions of amino-terminal eRF3a may affect the ability of eRF3a to undergo caspase-mediated cleavage (9).
