Nectin 3 Antibody (N3.12.4): sc-69715

Nectin 3 Antibody (N3.12.4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Nectin 3 in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and flow cytometry (FCM). Nectin 3 is a crucial transmembrane protein that plays a significant role in cell adhesion and communication, particularly in the nervous system and during viral infections. Nectin 3 is part of the Nectin family, which includes Nectin 1, 2, and 3, and is characterized by three immunoglobulin-like domains in the extracellular region. Notably, Nectin 3 has three splicing variants: Nectin 3α, 3β, and 3γ, with the first two containing a conserved C-terminal motif that is essential for binding to the PDZ domain of afadin, a protein that connects Nectin 3 to the actin cytoskeleton. This interaction is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of adherens junctions, where Nectin 3α co-localizes with Nectin 2, facilitating cell-cell adhesion and signaling. The importance of Nectin 3 in mediating these interactions underscores its potential role in various physiological and pathological processes, including functioning as a receptor for α herpesviruses, making anti-Nectin 3 antibody (N3.12.4) an invaluable tool for researchers studying cell adhesion mechanisms and viral entry pathways.
