?-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit a-3 is a protein encoded by the GABRA3 gene in humans and is mapped to chromosome X.
Synonyms: Anti-gamma-Aminobutyric-acid receptor subunit alpha-3 precursor antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-GABA(A) receptor subunit alpha-3 antibody produced in rabbit
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: ?-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit a-3 plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression. It may act as a promising molecular target for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCC. Overexpression of GABRA3 is found in lung cancer and rarely in other cancers. It can act as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of lung cancer and the gene receptors may play an important role in cancer differentiation. GABRA3 may be involved in the genetic pathophysiology of unipolar major depressive disorder.
