Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets protein Hook homolog 3 (gene HOOK3) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 83.1 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 83 kDa.
Hook 3 (HOOK3) is a cargo adaptor for the microtubule motor dynein. Together with dynactin it switches dynein into a highly processive motor and links it to cargoes such as the FHF complex and endosomes. It also associates with the Golgi and centrosome, and it is studied in intracellular transport and neuronal development.

Immunogen
Recombinant human HOOK3 fragment (Glu14–Arg198), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places protein Hook homolog 3 in the cytoplasm and Golgi apparatus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
