Gene Information

human ... BTG3(10950)

General description

BTG3 is a tumor suppression protein because overexpression impairs serum-induced cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to the S phase in vitro. BTG3 is often down regulated in cancer cell lines, and thus BTG3 is a target for enhanced cancer therapy. In normal cells BTG3 inhibits cell proliferation, cell invasion, and angiogenesis, and also regulates cell-cycle progression and differentiation in a variety of cell types. Developmentally BTG3 is normally expressed primarily in the brain and CNS during development where is modulates cell proliferation. In the adult expression is high in ovary, testis, prostate, thymus and lung. It is not expressed strongly in many cancers.

Specificity

This antibodies immunogen is 94% identical in mouse and 92% identical in rat.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human BTG3.

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected BTG3 in human testis and human prostate tissue.
Research Category
Apoptosis & Cancer
Research Sub Category
Apoptosis - Additional
This Anti-BTG3 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) for the detection of BTG3.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in IMR-90 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution of this antibody detected BTG3 in 10 µg of IMR-90 cell lysate.

Target description

~37 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysates. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 29 kDa, but can be observed at ~37 kDa due to alternate splice variants.

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to lot specific datasheet.
