CAV3 Antibody

CAV3 is a caveolin family member, which functions as a component of the caveolae plasma membranes found in most cell types. Caveolin proteins are proposed to be scaffolding proteins for organizing and concentrating certain caveolin-interacting molecules. Mutations identified in this gene lead to interference with protein oligomerization or intra-cellular routing, disrupting caveolae formation and resulting in Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy type-1C (LGMD-1C), hyperCKemia or rippling muscle disease (RMD) . Alternative splicing has been identified for this locus, with inclusion or exclusion of a differentially spliced intron. In addition, transcripts utilize multiple polyA sites and contain two potential translation initiation sites.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store CAV3 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

CAV3 antibody can be used for detection of CAV3 by ELISA at 1:12500. CAV3 antibody can be used for detection of CAV3 by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
