Human Nectin-3 / CD113 Protein, His Tag (MALS verified)

Poliovirus receptor-related 3 (PVRL3), also known as nectin-3 and CD113, is a human protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily which forms part of adherens junctions. Nectins are immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecules that interact with afadin (AF6; MIM 159559) . Afadin is an actin filament-binding protein that connects nectins to the actin cytoskeleton. The nectin-afadin system organizes adherens junctions cooperatively with the cadherin system in epithelial cells. PVRL3 plays a role in cell-cell adhesion through heterophilic trans-interactions with nectin-like proteins or nectins, such as trans-interaction with PVRL2/nectin-2 at Sertoli-spermatid junctions. Furthermore, PVRL3 induces endocytosis-mediated down-regulation of PVR from the cell surface, resulting in reduction of cell movement and proliferation.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 39.6 kDa. The protein migrates as 55-80 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.

Immobilized Human Nectin-3, His Tag (Cat. No. PV3-H52E4) at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human PVRL1, Fc Tag with a linear range of 1-20 ng/mL (QC tested).
