Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Probable transporter involved in the transport of branched-chain fatty acids and C27 bile acids into the peroxisome; the latter function is a crucial step in bile acid biosynthesis (PubMed:25168382). The nucleotide-binding fold acts as an ATP- binding subunit with ATPase activity (PubMed:11248239). .
Scientific background (datasheet): ATP-binding cassette sub-family D member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCD3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. The gene was assigned to human chromosome 1p21-p22 by in situ hybridization. This peroxisomal membrane protein likely plays an important role in peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations have been associated with some forms of Zellweger syndrome, a heterogeneous group of peroxisome assembly disorders.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Peroxisome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCD family. Peroxisomal fatty acyl CoA transporter (TC 3.A.1.203) subfamily.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Alzheimer's Disease,Cancer,Lipid Metabolism,Metabolism,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Organelle Proteins,Organelles,Protein Trafficking,Signal Transduction,Subcellular Markers,Tags & Cell Markers.
- 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.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
- 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.
