Anti-RCAN family member 3 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the RCAN3 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 241 amino acid residues and a mass of 27.5 kDa. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 6 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle kidney, liver and peripheral blood leukocytes. A member of the RCAN protein family, it is reported to inhibit calcineurin-dependent transcriptional responses by binding to the catalytic domain of calcineurin A. Other names for this target antigen include MCIP3, RCN3, hRCN3, calcipressin-3, Down syndrome candidate region 1-like 2, and DSCR1L2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some RCAN family member 3 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
