Biological background
Biological context: The pre-T-cell receptor complex (composed of PTCRA, TCRB and the CD3 complex) regulates early T-cell development. .
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein., tissue context: Expressed in immature but not mature T-cells. Also found in CD34+ cells from peripheral blood, CD34+ precursors from umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare EDEM3 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of EDEM3 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify EDEM3-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: ER degradation-enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EDEM3 gene. Quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ensures that only properly folded proteins are retained in the cell through recognition and degradation of misfolded or unassembled proteins. EDEM3 belongs to a group of proteins that accelerate degradation of misfolded glycoproteins in the ER.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
- Tissue details: Expressed in immature but not mature T-cells. Also found in CD34+ cells from peripheral blood, CD34+ precursors from umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow.
