General description
NAV3 (neuron navigator 3, also known as unc-53H3, steerin3, POMFIL1) belongs to the neuron navigator (NAV) family of proteins. NAV proteins are predominantly expressed in the nervous system. NAV3 expression is detected in brain.
NAV3 is made up of a calponin homology (CH) domain, a cytoskeletal interacting domain (CSID), four coiled-coil (CC) domains, and an AAA-domain.
Neuron navigator 3 (NAV3) is highly expressed in tumors. It possesses actin-binding domains and the gene encoding it is localized on chromosome 12q21.
Specificity
Anti-NAV3 (N-terminal) specifically recognizes human NAV3.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NAV3 (neuron navigator 3) has been suggested to function as a novel tumor suppressor gene. It is a putative haploin sufficient tumor suppressor gene, which helps in the growth, differentiation and apoptosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)cells.
NAV3 gene deletions and translocation affect patients with advanced mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome, the most common forms of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), suggesting that it may provide a novel diagnostic tool.
Neuron navigator 3 (NAV3) has been shown to control migration and invasion of epithelial cells. Once it is activated by growth factors, NAV3 occupies the ends of microtubules and stimulates their growth.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free†freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
