Biolegend, 690602, Purified anti-NFATC3 Antibody, 100μg

Nuclear factor of activated T cells C3 (NFATC3), also known as NFAT4 or NFATx, is a member of the NFAT family of transcription factors. Several NFATC3 variants generated by alternative splicing were identified. NFATC3 plays an important role in the regulation of T cell activation-related gene expression, especially in the induction of IL-2.  NFATC3 is expressed in immune cells, such as double positive (DP) thymocytes, mature CD4 + T cells, and mast cells. It is also found in non-immune cells such as smooth muscle and Schwann cells. In the resting T cells, NFATC3 is located in the cytoplasm and is phosphorylated. Upon T cell activation by TCR stimulation, the increase of intracellular Ca2+ induces NFATC3 dephosphorylation via calcineurin. Dephosphorylated NFATC3 exposes the nuclear localization signal and is subsequently translocated from the cytosol to the nucleus. Through the highly conserved Rel-like binding domain, NFATC3 associates with specific consensus DNA sequences and regulates gene expression.
100μg
Verified Reactivity: Human, Mouse
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Rat
Immunogen: Partial human NFATC3 recombinant protein (826-1075 a.a.) expressed in E. coli.
Formulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.
Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.
Application: WB - Quality tested
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.1 - 1.0 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes: Clone W15221A may react with isoforms 1-4 (MW 112.6~115.6). NFATs are heavily phosphorylated proteins, so the observed MWs of NFATC3 can be higher than predicted.
RRID: AB_2629823 (BioLegend Cat. No. 690602)
Structure: There are 6 reported isoforms of NFATC3 (MWs: 115.1, 115.2, 115.6, 112.6, 77.2, and 80.6 kD). The protein contains a RHD (Rel-like) domain responsible for DNA binding.
Distribution: Cytoplasm and nucleus.
Function: NFATC3 is a component of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex, regulating gene expression in immature thymocytes and T cells.
Interaction: Forms a multicomponent complex with NFATC1 and NFATC2. Interacts with Raf-1.
