Biological background
PAK3 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Occurs in almost all aerobically respiring organisms and serves to protect cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. Promotes growth of cells including T-cells, B-cells, myeloid leukemia cells, melanoma cells, mastocytoma cells and normal and transformed fibroblast cells. . Reported cellular localization context: Peroxisome. Tissue expression notes (as provided): In fetal tissues, highly expressed in brain, detectable in lung and liver, but not in kidney. In adult tissues, expressed ubiquitously in the brain, detectable in the heart, liver, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. The type A isoforms seem to be expressed predominantly in fetal brain whereas type B isoforms are expressed abundantly in both fetal and adult brain. .

- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate PAK3 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect PAK3 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect PAK3 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize PAK3 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich PAK3 by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 62 kDa; calculated MW: 59756 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 62 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Peroxisome.
- Tissue details (provided): In fetal tissues, highly expressed in brain, detectable in lung and liver, but not in kidney. In adult tissues, expressed ubiquitously in the brain, detectable in the heart, liver, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. The type A isoforms seem to be expressed predominantly in fetal brain whereas type B isoforms are expressed abundantly in both fetal and adult brain. .
