The UniProt recommended name is Natural cytotoxicity receptor 3 (NCR3). Also known as NKp30, this receptor is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays a key role in innate immune surveillance and antitumor defense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, NCR3 antibody identifies a 190-amino-acid type I transmembrane protein containing a single extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain responsible for ligand recognition. NCR3 binds to several cellular and pathogen-derived ligands, including B7-H6, BAG6, and viral hemagglutinin, triggering NK cell activation and cytotoxic granule release. Engagement of NCR3 leads to downstream signaling through the ITAM-containing adaptor protein CD3 zeta, resulting in cytokine production (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) and target cell killing. Beyond its role in NK cells, NCR3 expression has also been detected in subsets of T cells and innate lymphoid cells, where it contributes to immune modulation and inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NCR3 gene is located on chromosome 6p21.3 within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. Expression is tightly regulated by cytokines such as IL-2 and IL-15, which promote NK cell activation and expansion. NCR3 activity is balanced by interactions with both activating and inhibitory receptors to maintain immune homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, dysregulated NCR3 signaling influences susceptibility to infections, tumor immune evasion, and autoimmune conditions. Reduced receptor expression or function can impair NK cell cytotoxicity, while overactivation contributes to tissue inflammation and autoimmunity. Elevated NCR3 activity has been reported in various cancers and viral infections, highlighting its importance as a biomarker for immune activation and immunotherapy potential. Research using NCR3 antibody supports studies in NK cell biology, tumor immunology, and antiviral defense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNCR3 antibody is validated for use in relevant research applications to study receptor-mediated cytotoxicity and immune signaling.\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\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\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=NCR3 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=NCR3 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=NCR3 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/NCR3 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=NCR3+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":53047322804589,"sku":"FY13326","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_02ef695d-cf0f-4744-a083-32b6aa3f344f.jpg?v=1782237106","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/ncr3-antibody-natural-cytotoxicity-receptor-3-bha17136228","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
