Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ HACD3 (3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3) is a multi-pass membrane protein, which shares high homology with p23, a co-chaperone. This protein is composed of 362 amino acids. This gene is localized to human chromosome 15q22.3. It was originally identified as a gene activated by sodium butyrate. It has a molecular weight of 70.6kDa, and the mRNA is highly expressed in brain, kidney, and liver, and has low expression in skeletal muscle. The protein is ubiquitously expressed._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3_x000D_ Application_x000D_ 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._x000D_ 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.

LLC_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ HACD3 (3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 3) controls gene expression through Rac-1 signaling pathway. It is involved in the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), by interacting with HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), and recruiting heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and FK506-binding protein 8 (FKBP8) to the replication complex. This protein is involved in erythropoiesis, in bone marrow, and activation of NF-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase, via Rac-1 pathway. It might be involved in the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids, by interacting with ELOVL1, ELOVL5, or ELOVL6._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ 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._x000D_ Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:_x000D_ • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues._x000D_ • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments._x000D_ • Validated for multiple commonly used applications such as IHC (Immunohistochemistry), IF (Immunofluorescence), and WB (Western Blot)_x000D_ Linkage_x000D_ Corresponding Antigen APREST73204.
