Anti-phosducin like 3 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the PDCL3 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 239 amino acid residues and a mass of 27.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER and cytoplasm. It is reported to be expressed in endothelial cells. A member of the Phosducin protein family, it is known to act as a chaperone for the angiogenic VEGF receptor KDR/VEGFR2, increasing its abundance by inhibiting its ubiquitination and degradation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including acetylation. Other names for this target antigen include IAP-associated factor VIAF1, VIAF-1, phPL3, viral IAP-associated factor 1, and phosducin-like protein 3. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some phosducin like 3 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
