Anti-TMOD3 antibody produced in rabbit

Tropomodulin 3 (TMOD3) is the actin-capping protein with molecular mass of 40kDa. It is an elongated molecule with the tropomyosin-independent actin-binding site at the C-terminus end. It has also been reported that the C-terminus end contains a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain. In N-terminal end, it has two tropomyosin-binding sites and a tropomyosin-dependent actin-binding site. It has a rod-like, helical coiled coil structure that forms a strand on the surface of actin filament with its N-terminus at the pointed end.

The optimum activity of TMOD3 (tropomodulin 3) depends on the tropomyosin. It inhibits elongation and depolymerization of the actin filaments at the pointed end. This stabilizes the overall construction and the dynamics of the filament. It binds to the actin subunits as well as tropomodulin itself in vivo to exchange the free molecules at the pointed end.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
