Anti-REEP3 Antibody

Mammalian odorant receptors require accessory proteins such as RTP1 and RTP2 for functional cell surface expression. Receptor expression-enhancing protein (REEP) family members are transmembrane proteins which interact with odorant receptor proteins and may enhance the odorant receptor responses to odorants. Recently studies have shown other chemosensory receptors such as bitter taste receptors are also influenced by RTP and REEP family members. REEP3 has also been suggested as a novel candidate gene for autism and as a loci influencing the plasma levels of the liver enzyme alkaline phosphatase.

REEP3 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human REEP3. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of REEP3.

Microtubule-binding protein required to ensure proper cell division and nuclear envelope reassembly by sequestering the endoplasmic reticulum away from chromosomes during mitosis. Probably acts by clearing the endoplasmic reticulum membrane from metaphase chromosomes.

REEP3 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
