|---|---|
| Application | Anti-Adenosine A3 Receptor Antibody, extracellular (a.a. 154-168) is an antibody against Adenosine A3 Receptor for use in ELISA, IC & WB. |
| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Western blot: 1-10 micrograms per mL: A3 receptors are different sizes in different species & tissues; A3R from rat brain membranes runs as a 40kDa band, 52kDa in rabbit uroepithelium membranes (Yu, W et Al. Am J. Physiol Cell Physiol 2006 in press); use proteinase inhibitors and membrane preparations for best signals. ELISA: 1:10,000-1:50,000 (50-100 ng A3R peptide (Catalog Number AG294)/well) Immunocytochemistry: Caufield, 2003. Light 2% PFA fixation 5-10 minutes --long fixations lower staining intensity. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user. |
| Biological Information | |
|---|---|
| Immunogen | Amino acid sequence corresponding to the 3rd extracellular domain (15 amino acids) of the rat A3R gene. |
| Epitope | extracellular (a.a. 154-168) |
| Concentration | Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration. |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Specificity | Specific for Adenosine A3 receptor. Based on mRNA studies, the A3R has been found in rat testis and lung, kidneys, heart and brain. Other studies have found the mRNA to be highest in lung, spleen and pineal glands and moderate levels in brain kidney and testis. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the family of adenosine receptors, which are g-protein-coupled receptors that are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. The receptor encoded by this gene mediates a sustained cardioprotective function during cardiac ischemia, it is involved in the inhibition of neutrophil degranulation in neutrophil-mediated tissue injury, it has been implicated in both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative effects, and it may also mediate both cell proliferation and cell death. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
