Rabbit anti Human ORAI3 antibody recognizes the N-terminal region of human ORAI3, also known as Transmembrane protein 142C (TMEM142C), a 31.5 kDa multi-pass membrane protein belonging to the ORAI family.
Antigen stimulation of immune cells triggers Ca2+ entry through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels. CRAC channels are the main pathway for Ca2+ influx in T-cells and promote the immune response to pathogens by activating the transcription factor NFAT.
ORAI3 is one of two mammalian homologs of ORAI1, a four- transmembrane spanning protein that is an essential component of CRAC channels. ORAI3, along with ORAI1 and ORAI2, functions as a Ca2+ plasma membrane channel that is gated through interactions with STIM1, the store-activated endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor. Studies indicate that ORAI3 channels undergo a lesser degree of depotentiation than ORAI1 or ORAI2.Rabbit anti Human ORAI3 antibody (
AHP1496) is not expected to cross react with either ORAI1 or ORAI2.
