Anti-EDG 3 (Endothelial Cell Differentiation Gene 63, Sphingosine-1-phosphate Receptor 3, S1PR3)

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) exerts its activity by binding to five distinct G-protein-coupled receptors, S1P1/EDG-1, S1P2/EDG-5, S1P3/EDG-3, S1P4/EDG-6, and S1P5/EDG-8. S1P3 couples to Gi/o-ERK, Gq-PLC, and G12/13-Rho axes to mediate S1P-induced cell proliferation, survival, migration, and related signaling events. S1P3 is widely expressed in various tissues, suggesting diverse physiological functions of this receptor. The human and murine S1P3 have 378 amino acids with an estimated molecular weight of 42kD. Glycosylation at the N-terminal extracellular domain may cause the protein to migrate at different positions in SDS-PAGE. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:200, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
