Encoded by the APOBEC3C gene on chromosome 22q13.1, this enzyme belongs to the APOBEC3 subfamily of cytidine deaminases, which act by deaminating cytidine to uridine in single-stranded DNA. APOBEC3C plays a central role in restricting viral replication, particularly retroviruses and retrotransposons, through cytidine deamination and interference with reverse transcription.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, APOBEC3C contains a single catalytic zinc-dependent deaminase domain characterized by the H-X-E-X(23-28)-P-C-X2-C motif, which coordinates zinc ions for catalytic activity. It primarily targets cytosines within the 5'-TC context of viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations that inhibit viral genome integrity. APOBEC3C acts against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other retroelements by editing viral cDNA during replication. Its antiviral activity is antagonized by viral infectivity factor (Vif) proteins that mediate APOBEC degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe APOBEC3C antibody is used in virology, immunology, and genomic stability research to study intrinsic antiviral immunity and cytidine deamination mechanisms. Western blot analysis detects a 23 kilodalton band corresponding to APOBEC3C, while immunofluorescence shows cytoplasmic and nuclear localization depending on infection or stress conditions. This antibody supports the investigation of APOBEC3C-mediated mutagenesis, viral restriction, and immune regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond antiviral defense, APOBEC3C influences genomic diversity and cancer mutagenesis by contributing to localized DNA editing events. Dysregulation or overexpression of APOBEC family enzymes, including APOBEC3C, has been linked to mutational signatures in various cancers. The APOBEC3C antibody provides a reliable tool for exploring the dual roles of APOBEC3C in immunity and genome evolution.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=APOBEC3C - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=APOBEC3C - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=APOBEC3C - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/APOBEC3C - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=APOBEC3C+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047302553965,"sku":"FY12791","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_6a1a53d6-11cd-4ae2-9a7d-d72dc8625319.jpg?v=1782237055","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/apobec3c-antibody-bha17135693","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
