General description

Monoclonal Anti-EDEM3 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma EDEM3-1 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human EDEM3 conjugated to KLH.

Three EDEM homologs, EDEM1, EDEM2 and EDEM3 have been identified, which are transcriptionally upregulated upon ER stress by the activated IRE1/Xbp-1 branch.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-EDEM3 antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

EDEM3 (ER degradation enhancer, mannosidase α-like 3), a soluble EDEM homolog, enhances glycoprotein endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) and mannose trimming. EDEM3 accelerates ERAD of misfolded glycoproteins as well, but in ontrast to EDEM1, it greatly stimulates mannosidase trimming in vivo.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
