Rabbit anti-Human Karyopherin alpha-3 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-KPNA3 antibody
Anti-Karyopherin alpha-3 Antibody
Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of Karyopherin alpha-3 expression in Jurkat (A), A549 (B), Hela (C) whole cell lysates.)
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Immunohistochemical analysis of Karyopherin alpha-3 staining in human esophageal cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells is mediated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which consists of 60-100 proteins. Small molecules (up to 70 kD) can pass through the nuclear pore by nonselective diffusion while larger molecules are transported by an active process. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the importin alpha family, and is involved in nuclear protein import. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
Uniprot Description
KPNA3: Functions in nuclear protein import as an adapter protein for nuclear receptor KPNB1. Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Docking of the importin/substrate complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is mediated by KPNB1 through binding to nucleoporin FxFG repeats and the complex is subsequently translocated through the pore by an energy requiring, Ran- dependent mechanism. At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin-beta and the three components separate and importin-alpha and -beta are re-exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where GTP hydrolysis releases Ran from importin. The directionality of nuclear import is thought to be conferred by an asymmetric distribution of the GTP- and GDP-bound forms of Ran between the cytoplasm and nucleus. In vitro, mediates the nuclear import of human cytomegalovirus UL84 by recognizing a non- classical NLS. Recognizes NLSs of influenza A virus nucleoprotein probably through ARM repeats 7-9. Belongs to the importin alpha family.

Product Notes
The KPNA3 kpna3 (Catalog #AAA8245269) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Karyopherin alpha-3 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Karyopherin alpha-3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). WB: 1/500 - 1/2000; IHC: 1/50 - 1/100. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KPNA3 kpna3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Karyopherin alpha-3, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
