Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): TRAP proteins are part of a complex whose function is to bind calcium to the ER membrane and thereby regulate the retention of ER resident proteins.
Scientific background (datasheet): SSR3 (signal sequence receptor, gamma) is also known as TRAPG. By immunoaffinity chromatography, biochemical purification, peptide sequence analysis, and screening of a rat liver cDNA library, Hartmann et al. (1993) obtained a cDNA encoding Ssr3, which they termed Trap-gamma. The deduced 185-amino acid protein spans the membrane 4 times and is expressed as a 20-kD protein. Gross (2012)mapped the SSR3 gene to chromosome 3q25.31 based on an alignment of the SSR3 sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). Hartmann et al. (1993)found that Ssr3 was associated in equal amounts with Ssr1, Ssr2, and Ssr4 in canine pancreatic microsomes.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue details (datasheet): Highly expressed in the brain, lung, kidney and heart. Expressed at low levels in the liver and spleen. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Calcium Binding Proteins,Calcium Signaling,DNA/RNA,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,ER Proteins,Organelle Proteins,Protein Trafficking,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway,Translation.
- 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.
