Scientific Data Images for Human Contactin-3 Antibody

Contactin-3 antibody in Human Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Contactin‑3 in Human Brain.

Contactin-3 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (cerebellum) using Sheep Anti-Human Contactin-3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF7125) at 3 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to Purkinje neurons.

Background: Contactin-3

Contactin-3, also known as BIG-1, CNTN3 and PANG, is a 150 kDa member of the TAG/F3 subgroup of Contactin neuronal adhesion proteins (1, 2). Mature human Contactin-3 consists of six immunoglobulin-like domains, a flexible linker region, four fibronectin type III domains, and a GPI anchor (3, 4). Human Contactin-3 shares 92% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Contactin-3. Contactin-3 is primarily expressed in the brain in discrete regions including the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum, amygdala, and hippocampus (5, 6). Alternative splicing in rat may generate a soluble isoform (4). Mouse plasmacytoma cell lines produce multiple transcripts of Contactin-3 due to the presence of IAP proviruses (3). Immobilized Contactin-3 promotes neurite outgrowth from rat hippocampal neurons (4).
