Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human CA3 recombinant protein (Position: D14-E235). Human CA3 shares 92.3% and 91.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CA3, respectively. (reported region: D14-E235).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 29 kDa; calculated MW: 29557 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Carbonic anhydrase 3; Carbonic anhydrase 3. Carbonic anhydrase III (CA3) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CA3 gene. CA3 is a member of a multigene family (at least six separate genes are known) that encode carbonic anhydrase isozymes. The gene spans 10.3 kb and contains seven exons and six introns. Using a cDNA clone of the CA3 gene in the study of human-rodent hybrids, the gene was mapped to chromosome 8 which carries a cluster of CA genes. The expression of the CA3 gene is strictly tissue specific and present at high levels in skeletal muscle and much lower levels in cardiac and smooth muscle. A proportion of carriers of Duchenne muscle dystrophy have a higher CA3 level than normal. Functional note: Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Reported localization: Cytoplasm. Expression/tissue context: Muscle specific.
