Anti-EMAP like 3 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the EML3 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 896 amino acid residues and a mass of 95.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the WD repeat EMAP protein family, it is reported to regulate mitotic spindle assembly, microtubule (MT)-kinetochore attachment and chromosome separation via recruitment of HAUS augmin-like complex and TUBG1 to the existing MTs and promoting MT-based MT nucleation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include EMAP-3, echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 3, and echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 3. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
