Product Specs

Introduction
FAM3C belongs to the FAM3 family and possesses a GG domain. The expression of this protein is differentially regulated in pancreatic cancer-derived cells. Serving as a downstream target gene for the Nkx5-1 transcription factor, FAM3C participates in cell differentiation and proliferation during inner ear embryogenesis. Additionally, FAM3C plays a role in retinal laminar formation and promotes the transition from epithelial to mesenchymal cells.
Description
Recombinant human FAM3C, produced in E.coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It comprises 224 amino acids (residues 25-227) and has a molecular weight of 24.5 kDa. The protein is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that is sterile filtered.
Formulation
The FAM3C solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml and contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 5mM DTT, 200mM NaCl, and 20% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), store the solution at 4°C. For longer storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of FAM3C is determined by SDS-PAGE analysis to be greater than 90%.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The FAM3C gene is located on chromosome 7 and encodes a protein consisting of 227 amino acids . The protein includes an N-terminal signal peptide, which is crucial for its secretion . The GG domain within the protein is a defining feature of the FAM3 family .

Function and Biological Role

FAM3C plays a significant role in various biological processes:

  • Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT): FAM3C is known to promote EMT, a process where epithelial cells lose their cell polarity and adhesion properties to become mesenchymal stem cells. This transition is essential for various developmental processes and has implications in cancer metastasis .
  • Retinal Laminar Formation: FAM3C may be involved in the formation of retinal layers, indicating its role in eye development .
  • Cytokine Activity: The protein exhibits cytokine activity, which is involved in cell signaling and immune responses .
Clinical Significance

Changes in the expression of FAM3C have been observed in pancreatic cancer-derived cells, suggesting its potential role in cancer biology . Additionally, FAM3C has been associated with diseases such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Dopa-Responsive Dystonia .

Recombinant FAM3C

Recombinant FAM3C proteins are produced using various expression systems, such as E. coli, for research purposes. These recombinant proteins are used in studies to understand the protein’s function, interactions, and potential therapeutic applications .

Research and Applications

FAM3C is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues, making it a valuable target for research in developmental biology, cancer research, and immunology . Studies involving recombinant FAM3C help in elucidating its role in EMT and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment .
