Anti-Ca3

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

Application

Anti-CA3 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

Carbonic anhydrase III (CA3) may act as a new biomarker of sarcopenia. Higher CA levels indicate an increased demand of CO2 removal in senescent muscle and the age-related fibre type shifts to slower-contracting muscles during human aging. CA3 is found to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. CA3 possesses low carbon dioxide hydratase activity, resistance to the CA inhibitor acetazolamide unlike other members of the CA family.

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

Carbonic anhydrase III (CA3) is a member of a multi-gene CA family that encodes carbonic anhydrase isozymes and termed as Car3 and CAIII. The expression of isoform has shown an increased abundance during muscle aging and is relatively muscle specific. It exhibits a fibre type-specific expression pattern.
