Polyclonal

Rabbit Ig

Rabbit

This MATN3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 220-248 amino acids from the Central region of human MATN3.

Peptide Affinity Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Pab)

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.

Vial Concentration: 0.4 (lot specific)

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-MATN3 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A
domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is
thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in
the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This protein
contains two von Willebrand factor A domains; it is present in the
cartilage extracellular matrix and has a role in the development
and homeostasis of cartilage and bone. Mutations in this gene
result in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.

MATN3: Major component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and may play a role in the formation of extracellular filamentous networks. Defects in MATN3 are the cause of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 5 (EDM5). EDM is a generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. EDM is broadly categorized into the more severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. EDM5 is relatively mild and clinically variable. It is primarily characterized by delayed and irregular ossification of the epiphyses and early-onset osteoarthritis. Defects in MATN3 are the cause of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia MATN3-related (SEMD-MATN3). A bone disease characterized by disproportionate early-onset dwarfism, bowing of the lower limbs, lumbar lordosis and normal hands. Skeletal abnormalities include short, wide and stocky long bones with severe epiphyseal and metaphyseal changes, hypoplastic iliac bones and flat, ovoid vertebral bodies. Genetic variations in MATN3 are associated with susceptibility to osteoarthritis type 2 (OS2); also called osteoarthritis of distal interphalangeal joints (OADIP) or hand osteoarthritis (HOA). Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints characterized by degradation of the hyaline articular cartilage and remodeling of the subchondral bone with sclerosis. Clinical symptoms include pain and joint stiffness often leading to significant disability and joint replacement. In the hand, osteoarthritis can develop in the distal interphalangeal and the first carpometacarpal (base of thumb) and proximal interphalangeal joints. Patients with osteoarthritis may have one, a few, or all of these sites affected.
