SDC3 (Kiaa0468, SYND3, SDCN, , Syndecan 3, , N-syndecan, Syndecan 3 (N-syndecan), Syndecan proteoglycan 3, Syndecan, neural type)

Syndecan-3, also called SYND3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDC3 gene. This gene was assigned to human chromosome 1p35.2. This gene can function as in trans HIV receptors via binding of HIV-1 gp120 to the syndecan heparin sulfate chains. It may play a role in the organization of cell shape by affecting the actin cytoskeleton, and possibly by transferring signals from the cell surface in a sugar-dependent mechanism. In wildtype mice, SDC3 was expressed in hypothalamic regions that control energy balance. It was proposed that oscillation of hypothalamic SDC3 levels physiologically modulates feeding behavior.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nImmunohistochemistry (paraffin-embedded section): 0.5-1ug/ml. Requires heat-induced epitope retrieval (boil paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 20 mins.).\nWestern Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml.\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
