CUL3 Antibody (Cullin-3)

Cullin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CUL3 gene. Kipreos et al. (1996) identified a conserved gene family, designated cullins, with at least 5 members in nematodes, 6 in humans, and 3 in S. cerevisiae. Hartz (2012) mapped the gene to chromosome 2q36.2 based on an alignment of the CUL3 sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh37) . Sumara et al. (2007) found that KLHL9, KLHL13, and CUL-3 interacted directly in a 370-kD protein complex in HeLa cell lysates. Rondou et al. (2008) showed that interaction between KLHL12 and the CUL3 ubiquitin ligase complex directed ubiquitination of dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) . KLHL12 interacted directly with CUL-3 and with the polymorphic intracellular loop-3 of D4. By immunoprecipitation analysis of HeLa cells and HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells expressing epitope-tagged proteins, Kigoshi et al. (2011) showed that KLHL7 interacted with CUL-3 and ROC1 (RBX1) .
