- Product Overview:
Protein arginine deiminase 3 (PAD3) catalyzes the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline within its cellular protein substrates, which include S100A3, trichohyalin, and filaggrin, resulting in the loss of a positive charge, which can alter protein structure and/or function.{45610} It exists as a homodimer and is composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain and an N-terminal domain that contains two immunoglobulin G (IgG) subdomains.{60813} PAD3 is primarily expressed by differentiated keratinocytes in the epidermis and hair follicles where it has roles in the shaping and mechanical strengthening of hair.{60813,36391} It is also expressed by neural stem cells where it modulates cell death by regulating the nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), in mammary glands where it citrullinates proteins during lactation, and cancer cells where it promotes cancer cell invasion.{60814,34764,60815} Mutations in PADI3 are associated with uncombable hair syndrome. Cayman’s PAD3 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4E5) can be used for ELISA and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes PAD3 at ~74 kDa from human samples.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
