Anti-CMTM3 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1448-034)

General description

The gene CMTM3 (CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 3) encodes a member of the CMTM family that resembles chemokines and the transmembrane-4 superfamily of proteins. It is broadly expressed in normal human adult tissues but is highly expressed in the testes. Its expression is found to be reduced in carcinoma cell lines and primary tumors. The gene is localized to human chromosome 16q21. The encoded protein contains one leucine zipper and two LXXLL motifs.

Immunogen

CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 3 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The protein CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 3 functions as a tumor suppressor. Its expression in tumor cells leads to caspase-3 activation, resulting in suppression of cell growth and apoptosis. Its overexpression is found to inhibit AR (androgen receptor) transcription activity. It may function in the maturation and maintenance of the male reproductive system. It is also highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), suggesting its role in immune system.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage
