Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Perilipin 3, different from the related mouse sequence by fourteen amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 47 kDa; calculated MW: 47 kDa
- 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
Perilipin-3; Perilipin-3. Mannose-6-phosphate receptor binding protein 1 (M6PRBP1), also known as Perilipin 3 (PLN3) or TIP47, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the M6PRBP1 gene. Mannose 6-phophate receptors (MPRs) deliver lysosomal hydrolase from the Golgi to endosomes and then return to the Golgi complex. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the cytoplasmic domains of both cation-independent and cation-dependent MPRs, and is required for endosome-to-Golgi transport. This protein also binds ly to the GTPase RAB9 (RAB9A), a member of the RAS oncogene family. The interaction with RAB9 has been shown to increase the affinity of this protein for its cargo. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Functional note: Required for the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR) from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. . Reported localization: Cytoplasm . Endosome membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Lipid droplet . Membrane associated on endosomes. Detected in the envelope and the core of lipid bodies and in lipid sails. Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in heart, placenta, pancreas, lung and liver and weakly expressed in spleen, lymph nodes and thymus. .
