Overview
Anti-Adenylate Cyclase 3 (AC3) (extracellular)-ATTO Fluor-488 Antibody is an antibody targeting Adenylate cyclase type 3, Adenylate cyclase type III, AC-III, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 3, Adenylate cyclase olfactive type, Adenylyl cyclase 3, ADCY3 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC.). This antibody is commonly used in FC, IC, IF, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Adenylate cyclase type 3, Adenylate cyclase type III, AC-III, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 3, Adenylate cyclase olfactive type, Adenylyl cyclase 3, ADCY3 (also reported as Adenylate cyclase type 3, Adenylate cyclase type III, AC-III, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 3, Adenylate cyclase olfactive type, Adenylyl cyclase 3, ADCY3).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 3rd extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Mouse, human - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #AAR-043), and immunocytochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC. (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are a family of enzymes that synthesize cAMP, upon stimulation. cAMP is an important second messenger, which regulates carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid metabolism as well as synaptic transmission, ion channel function, and transcription in neurons1. There are nine closely related isoforms of ACs (AC1-9) in mammals.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
- Live cell imaging (LCI): support extracellular-epitope detection on non-permeabilized cells when appropriate.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-AG.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
