The UniProt recommended name is Pannexin 3 (PANX3). This protein belongs to the pannexin family, which forms hexameric channels in the plasma membrane, enabling the passage of ions and small metabolites involved in signaling and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, PANX3 antibody recognizes a 392-amino-acid integral membrane protein expressed predominantly in skin, cartilage, and bone. Pannexin 3 mediates ATP and ion fluxes that influence osteoblast differentiation, chondrocyte maturation, and keratinocyte communication. It also interacts with intracellular calcium signaling pathways, linking membrane excitability to tissue remodeling and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PANX3 gene, located on chromosome 11q24.2, encodes a protein with four transmembrane helices, two extracellular loops with conserved cysteines, and intracellular N- and C-termini. PANX3 localizes to both plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, participating in calcium homeostasis and metabolic coupling. Its expression is upregulated during endochondral ossification, contributing to skeletal development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, abnormal PANX3 activity is implicated in osteoarthritis, cartilage degeneration, and abnormal bone formation. Overexpression enhances ATP release and promotes differentiation, while deficiency can impair mineralization and growth plate organization. In addition, pannexin signaling has been studied in cancer and inflammation for its role in autocrine ATP signaling and cell death regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePANX3 antibody is suitable for western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry, making it a valuable tool for studies of bone biology, differentiation, and tissue communication. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, Pannexin 3 forms hexameric channels resembling connexins but does not form gap junctions. Instead, it functions as an ATP release channel regulated by voltage, phosphorylation, and extracellular calcium. Research with this antibody helps clarify PANX3's role in skeletal physiology and pathophysiology.\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\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\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=PANX3 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PANX3 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PANX3 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/PANX3 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PANX3+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":53047311139181,"sku":"FY13071","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_852417ea-2911-4894-84b4-464eae5d97a1.jpg?v=1782237114","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/panx3-antibody-pannexin-3-bha17135973","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
