The gene SPATA3 (spermatogenesis-associated protein 3) has been mapped to human chromosome 2q37. The gene encodes a testis-specific protein. In rat model, SPATA3 is identified as a new member of HSP40 (Heat shock protein 40) protein family since the sequence contains the highly conserved J domain. The protein is localized in the cytoplasm.
Synonyms: Anti-Spermatogenesis-associated protein 3; Anti-Testis and spermatogenesis cell-related protein 1; Anti-Testis spermatocyte apoptosis- related protein 1
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-SPATA3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Spermatogenesis-associated protein 3 (SPATA3) may play role in spermatogenesis cell apoptosis. In mouse model, SPATA3 is down-regulated in male germ cells post X-ray irradiation.
