Anti-FOXO3A/FOXO3 Antibody Picoband® (Dylight488 Conjugate)

Forkhead box O3, also known as FKHRL1 or FOXO3a, is a human protein encoded by the FOXO3 gene. FOXO3 belongs to the O subclass of the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct fork head DNA-binding domain. It is mapped to 6q21. This protein likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through upregulation of genes necessary for cell death, such as Bim and PUMA, or downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins such as FLIP. In mammals FOXO3 regulates the resistance of cells to stress by inducing DNA repair and thereby may also affect organismal life span. In addition, it is thought that FOXO3 is also involved in protection from oxidative stress by upregulating antioxidants such as catalase and MnSOD.

Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety. This GPIase activity seems to be crucial for the egg-binding ability of the sperm.
