Product Specs

Introduction
ARL3 (ARFL3) is a member of the ARF-like protein (ARL) subfamily, which are small GTPases. Unlike ARFs, ARL3 does not activate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltranferase. It is ubiquitously expressed and may play a role in maintaining rod photoreceptor cells and regulating microtubule-dependent processes. Studies have shown that ARL3 knockdown can result in abnormal cell morphology, cytokinesis failure, alpha-tubulin acetylation, and an increase in binucleated cells.
Description
Recombinant human ARL3 protein, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It contains 206 amino acids (including a 24 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus) and has a molecular weight of 23kDa. The protein sequence comprises amino acids 1-182 of the ARL3 protein, with an additional His-tag for purification. ARL3 is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ARL3 protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 1mg/ml. The solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 30% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT, and 0.1mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the protein at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the product.
Purity
The purity of ARL3 protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

ARL3, like other members of the ARF family, binds guanine nucleotides (GTP and GDP) but does not activate the cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase, which differentiates it from other ARF proteins . The protein is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and is involved in several cellular functions, including:

  • Vesicular Trafficking: ARL3 plays a role in the transport of vesicles within cells, which is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and function .
  • Microtubule-Dependent Processes: It is involved in the regulation of processes that depend on microtubules, such as cell division and intracellular transport .
  • Photoreceptor Cell Maintenance: ARL3 is believed to have a role in maintaining rod photoreceptor cells, which are essential for vision .
Genetic and Molecular Insights

The ARL3 gene is located on chromosome 10 in humans and encodes a protein that is approximately 182 amino acids long . The protein structure includes regions that are critical for binding and hydrolyzing GTP, which is essential for its function as a molecular switch in signaling pathways .

Clinical Relevance

Mutations in the ARL3 gene have been associated with several diseases, including Joubert Syndrome 35 and Retinitis Pigmentosa 83 . These conditions highlight the importance of ARL3 in normal cellular function and development.

Research and Applications

Recombinant human ARL3 is used in various research applications to study its function and role in disease. The recombinant protein is produced using advanced biotechnological methods, ensuring high purity and activity for experimental purposes .
