Anti-Matrilin 3 Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This protein contains two von Willebrand factor A domains; it is present in the cartilage extracellular matrix and has a role in the development and homeostasis of cartilage and bone. Mutations in this gene result in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
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 MATN3 matn3 (Catalog #AAA8247491) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Matrilin 3 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Matrilin 3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1/500 - 1/2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MATN3 matn3 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 "Matrilin 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
