Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Down-regulates signaling from heterotrimeric G-proteins by increasing the GTPase activity of the alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Down-regulates G- protein-mediated release of inositol phosphates and activation of MAP kinases. .
Scientific background (datasheet): RGS3 (Regulator of G Protein Signaling 3), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGS3 gene. Chatterjee et al. (1997) studied RGS3, the largest member of the RGS family then identified. Mouse Pdz-Rgs3 can mediate signaling from the ephrin-B cytoplasmic tail. By radiation hybrid mapping, Chatterjee et al. (1997) assigned the RGS3 gene to chromosome 9q31-q33. Lu et al. (2001) showed that Sdf1, a chemokine with a G protein-coupled receptor, and Bdnf are chemoattractants for cerebellar granule cells, and that Sdf1 chemoattraction is selectively inhibited by soluble ephrin-B receptor. This inhibition could be blocked by a truncated Pdz-Rgs3 protein lacking the RGS domain.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. The long isoforms are cytoplasmic.
Tissue details (datasheet): Detected in embryos from E8.5-16.5 in cortical ventricular zone, dorsal root ganglia and cerebellar primordia. Isoform 3 is detected in testis and in spermatocytes from newborn mice. Levels increase and reach a maximum after 21 days; after this they decrease again. Long isoforms are widely expressed. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to G Protein Signaling,Regulators,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway,Small G Proteins.
- 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.
