* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Matrin 3(MATR3) is localized in the nuclear matrix. It may play a role in transcription or may interact with other nuclear matrix proteins to form the internal fibrogranular network. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.The deduced 845-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 95 kD. Its primary structure consists of 33% charged residues and is generally hydrophilic. Like the lamins, matrin-3 has a positively charged N terminus that contains a large number of amino acids with free hydroxyl groups. A highly acidic domain near the C terminus, in which 32% of the amino acids are acidic, is a characteristic found in other nuclear proteins.

Uniprot Description
MATN3: Major component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and may play a role in the formation of extracellular filamentous networks. Defects in MATN3 are the cause of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 5 (EDM5). EDM is a generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. EDM is broadly categorized into the more severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. EDM5 is relatively mild and clinically variable. It is primarily characterized by delayed and irregular ossification of the epiphyses and early-onset osteoarthritis. Defects in MATN3 are the cause of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia MATN3-related (SEMD-MATN3). A bone disease characterized by disproportionate early-onset dwarfism, bowing of the lower limbs, lumbar lordosis and normal hands. Skeletal abnormalities include short, wide and stocky long bones with severe epiphyseal and metaphyseal changes, hypoplastic iliac bones and flat, ovoid vertebral bodies. Genetic variations in MATN3 are associated with susceptibility to osteoarthritis type 2 (OS2); also called osteoarthritis of distal interphalangeal joints (OADIP) or hand osteoarthritis (HOA). Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints characterized by degradation of the hyaline articular cartilage and remodeling of the subchondral bone with sclerosis. Clinical symptoms include pain and joint stiffness often leading to significant disability and joint replacement. In the hand, osteoarthritis can develop in the distal interphalangeal and the first carpometacarpal (base of thumb) and proximal interphalangeal joints. Patients with osteoarthritis may have one, a few, or all of these sites affected.

Product Notes
The Human MATN3 matn3 (Catalog #AAA9715374) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715374 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MATN3. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Matrilin-3 (MATN3), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
