Biological background

Protein function (datasheet): Has a dual function in spindle-assembly checkpoint signaling and in promoting the establishment of correct kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments. Promotes the formation of stable end-on bipolar attachments. Necessary for kinetochore localization of BUB1. Regulates chromosome segregation during oocyte meiosis. The BUB1/BUB3 complex plays a role in the inhibition of anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) when spindle-assembly checkpoint is activated and inhibits the ubiquitin ligase activity of APC/C by phosphorylating its activator CDC20. This complex can also phosphorylate MAD1L1. .

Scientific background (datasheet): BUB3 (BUDDING UNINHIBITED BY BENZIMIDAZOLES 3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BUB3 gene. And it is mapped on 10q26.13. Bub3 is also a protein involved with the regulation of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC); though BUB3 is non-essential in yeast, it is essential in higher eukaryotes. As one of the checkpoint proteins, Bub3 delays the irreversible onset of anaphase through ion of kinetochore localization during prometaphase to achieve biorentation. Bub3 s the localization of Bub1 at the kinetochore in order to activate the SAC. Bub3 also acts as a regulator in that it affects binding of Mad3 to Mad2. Using deletion analysis, the authors identified a domain of BUB1 that is required both for binding BUB3 and for kinetochore localization of BUB1.

Cellular localization (datasheet): Nucleus. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore . Starts to localize at kinetochores in prometaphase I (Pro-MI) stage and maintains the localization until the metaphase I-anaphase I (MI-AI) transition. .

Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the WD repeat BUB3 family.

Research relevance and current trends

• Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Biology,Cell Cycle,Cell Division,Spindle.
• Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
• Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
• ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.

As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
