Anti-abca3

Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

Application

Anti-ABCA3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ABCA3 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member3) gene encodes a member of the ABC1 subfamily and is mainly localized to the limiting membrane of the lamellar bodies in human lung. It functions in the transmembrane transport of lipid components of pulmonary surfactant. It is involved in the metabolism of pulmonary surfactant lipids and in the biogenesis of lamellar body. Mutations in this gene are associated with fatal surfactant deficiency in neonates resulting in lethal respiratory distress and interstitial lung disease.

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.

General description

ABCA3 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member3) gene encodes a member of the ABCA subclass of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Its expression is restricted to lungs in the type II cells expressing surfactant protein A. Its expression is up-regulated by glucocorticoids just before birth.
