Specificity: This AP3B2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 16-44 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human AP3B2.

Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus Note=Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles located at the Golgi complex.

Molecular Weight: 119059

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: AP3B2

Gene ID: 8120

Function: Subunit of non-clathrin- and clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3) that plays a role in protein sorting in the late-Golgi/trans-Golgi network (TGN) and/or endosomes. The AP complexes mediate both the recruitment of clathrin to membranes and the recognition of sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane cargo molecules. AP-3 appears to be involved in the sorting of a subset of transmembrane proteins targeted to lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles. In concert with the BLOC-1 complex, AP-3 is required to target cargos into vesicles assembled at cell bodies for delivery into neurites and nerve terminals.

Summary: Tissue Location: Isoform 1 expression is specific to nervous system. Expressed in nerve terminal and cell body, and is associated with nerve-terminal vesicles. Expression seen in Purkinje cells, cortical neurons, neuroectodermal tumors and graded in cerebral cortex (deeper layers exhibit stronger expression) (PubMed:1851215) . Isoform 2 is expressed at high levels in brain and testis (PubMed:17453999)

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
