Anti-SCP3/SYCP3 Antibody Picoband® (Dylight488 Conjugate)

SYCP3, also known as COR1 or SCP3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYCP3 gene. It is mapped to 12q23.2. This gene encodes an essential structural component of the synaptonemal complex. This complex is involved in synapsis, recombination and segregation of meiotic chromosomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with azoospermia in males and susceptibility to pregnancy loss in females. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. SYCP3 has an essential meiotic function in human spermatogenesis that is compromised by the mutant protein by dominant-negative interference. SYCP3 is linked to inherited aneuploidy in female germ cells and provides a model system for studying age-dependent degeneration in oocytes.

E.coli-derived human SCP3 recombinant protein (Position: E18-E223). Human SCP3 shares 72% and 73% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat SCP3, respectively.

Component of the transverse filaments of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase. Has an essential meiotic function in spermatogenesis. May be important for testis development. Required for efficient phosphorylation of HORMAD1 and HORMAD2 (By similarity). .
