Anti-ADAMTS like 3 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the ADAMTSL3 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1691 amino acid residues and a mass of 188.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is noted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type I motifs-like 3, punctin-2, and ADAMTS-like protein 3. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some ADAMTS like 3 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunofluorescence is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
