OPA3 Polyclonal Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The mouse ortholog of this protein co-purifies with the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene have been shown to result in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type III and autosomal dominant optic atrophy and cataract. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
OPA3: May play some role in mitochondrial processes. Defects in OPA3 are the cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 3 (MGA3); also known as optic atrophy plus syndrome or Costeff optic atrophy syndrome. MGA3 is an autosomal recessive neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome consisting of early-onset bilateral optic atrophy, spasticity, extrapyramidal dysfunction, and cognitive deficit. Urinary excretion of 3- methylglutaconic acid and 3-methylglutaric acid is increased. MGA3 can be distinguished from MGA1 by the absence of increase of 3- hydroxyisovaleric acid levels. Defects in OPA3 are the cause of optic atrophy type 3 (OPA3); also known as autosomal dominant optic atrophy and cataract (ADOAC) or cataract, optic atrophy and neurologic disorder. Hereditary optic atrophy form a heterogeneous group of disorders. The autosomal dominant forms are characterized by an insidious onset of visual impairment in early childhood with moderate to severe loss of visual acuity, temporal optic disk pallor, color vision deficits and centrocecal scotoma of variable density. Belongs to the OPA3 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The OPA3 opa3 (Catalog #AAA9433761) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The OPA3 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's OPA3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:200-1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OPA3 opa3 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 "OPA3, 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
