NDRG3 (N-myc downstream-regulated gene 3 protein) is a novel member of N-myc down-regulated gene (NDRG) family mapped to human chromosomal location 20q11.21-q11.23. It is abundantly expressed in brain, prostate, ovary, and testis tissues. It is localized to the outer layers of seminiferous epithelium.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human NDRG3.
Immunogen Range: 206-255
Application
Anti-NDRG3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunohistochemistry and western blot.
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 3 protein (NDRG3) is involved in prostate cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. It acts as an androgen regulated and prostate enriched gene during controlling of cancer cell growth. Thus, overexpression of NDRG3 has been linked to the malignant phenotype of tumors. In hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, NDRG3 gene is inversely expressed with the miR-122 expression. Thus, it has been reported that in conjugation with miR-122, NDRG3 can be a potential therapeutic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Prominent localization of NDRG3 in the epithelium cells indicate its role in spermatogenesis. It also plays an important role in lactate-induced hypoxia signaling pathway in hypoxia. Its protein level expression in cell is negatively regulated by oxygen, whereas, whereas excess lactate produced under prolonged hypoxia blocks its proteasomal degradation by binding to NDRG3.

Hypoxia is associated with many pathological conditions as well as the normal physiology of metazoans. We identified a lactate-dependent signaling pathway in hypoxia, mediated by the oxygen- and lactate-regulated protein NDRG family member 3 (NDRG3). Oxygen negatively regulates NDRG3 expression

NDRG1 (N-Myc downstream regulated) is upregulated during cell differentiation, repressed by N-myc and c-myc in embryonic cells, and suppressed in several tumor cells. A nonsense mutation in the NDRG1 gene has been reported to be causative for hereditary motor and

NDRG3 belongs to the N-myc down-regulated gene (NDRG) family that contains 4 paralogs: NDRG1, -2, -3 and -4. The function of NDRG3 and its relationship to cancer has not been studied. We herein report our examination of the expression and
microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs with post-transcriptional regulatory functions that participate in diverse biological pathways. miR-122, a liver-specific miRNA, has been found to be down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HCC-derived cell lines. In this study, miR-122 was down-regulated
