REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

The ERGIC3 protein also known as ERGIC-53 plays a critical role in the early secretory pathway. It is involved in vesicular trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. Weighing around 38 kDa ERGIC3 is an important contributor to cargo transport processes. The protein finds expression in various tissues predominantly within cells that have high secretory demands.
Biological function summary
The ERGIC3 protein functions as part of the larger ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) complex helping in the sorting and transport of proteins. The ERGIC serves as an essential hub in the secretory pathway modulating cargo movement to the Golgi for further processing. Some studies have implicated ERGIC3 in maintaining Golgi integrity and optimal function affecting overall cellular health.
Pathways
ERGIC3 plays a significant role in the secretory pathway assisting in the transit of proteins and the correct folding of polypeptides. It links functionally to other key proteins such as KI67 which associates with cell proliferation regions and relies heavily on efficient protein processing for cellular division. The association suggests ERGIC3’s involvement in maintaining cellular growth and regeneration.
Researchers have connected ERGIC3 with diseases like congenital disorders of glycosylation due to its role in protein folding and trafficking. Furthermore disruptions in ERGIC3 function have correlations with cancer progression particularly in overactive secretion conditions. These disorders often coincide with aberrant expression or mutations in folding-related proteins signifying potential ERGIC3 involvement in pathological manifestations when its function is compromised.
