Western Blot (WB)

(NRG3 Antibody (Center) western blot analysis in human blood plasma tissue lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the NRG3 antibody detected the NRG3 protein (arrow).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.)

Related Product Information for anti-NRG3 antibody

NRG3, which belongs to the neuregulin family, is a direct ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor. Binding results in ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the receptor. NRG3 does not bind to the EGF receptor, ERBB2 or ERBB3 receptors. The protein exists as an type I membrane protein and as a proteolytically released soluble growth factor form. The membrane-bound form does not appear to be active. NRG3 is highly expressed in most regions of the brain with the exception of corpus callosum, and is expressed at lower level in testis. It is not detected in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes. The NRG3 cytoplasmic domain may be involved in the regulation of trafficking and proteolytic processing. Regulation of the proteolytic processing may involve initial intracellular domain dimerization.

NCBI Description

This gene is a member of the neuregulin gene family. This gene family encodes ligands for the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors ERBB3 and ERBB4 - members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. Ligand binding activates intracellular signaling cascades and the induction of cellular responses including proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival or apoptosis. This gene encodes neuregulin 3 (NRG3). NRG3 has been shown to activate the tyrosine phosphorylation of its cognate receptor, ERBB4, and is thought to influence neuroblast proliferation, migration and differentiation by signalling through ERBB4. NRG3 also promotes mammary differentiation during embryogenesis. Linkage studies have implicated this gene as a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional transcript variants have been described but their biological validity has not been verified.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Uniprot Description

NRG3: Direct ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor. Binding results in ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the receptor. Does not bind to the EGF receptor, ERBB2 or ERBB3 receptors. May be a survival factor for oligodendrocytes. Belongs to the neuregulin family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
