Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Major component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and may play a role in the formation of extracellular filamentous networks.
Scientific background (datasheet): MATN3 (Matrilin-3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MATN3 gene. This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is though to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Belluoccio et al. (1998) mapped the human MATN3 gene to chromosome 2p24-p23. Wagener et al. (2000) mapped the mouse Matn3 gene to the proximal end of chromosome 12, linked to the genes Synd1, Apob, Dtnb, and Kif3c. The human homologs of all 5 of these genes map to 2p23, indicating considerable homology of synteny. This protein contains two von Willebrand factor A domains; it is present in the cartilage extracellular matrix and has a role in the development and homeostasis of cartilage and bone. Mutations in this gene result in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Secreted.
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed only in cartilaginous tissues, such as vertebrae, ribs and shoulders.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 4 EGF-like domains.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Immunology,Innate Immunity,MAPK Pathway,Protein Phosphorylation,Ser/Thr Kinases,Signal Transduction,TLR Signaling.
- 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.
- 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.
