Anti-ACE3 (Mouse) Antibody, Rabbit Serum

Description

ACE3 was identified as an IZUMO1 interacting protein from mouse sperm. ACE3 protein is exclusively localized in testis and sperm. However, unlike the disruption of IZUMO1 or ACE, elimination of ACE3 in mouse did not result in loss of sperm fertilizing ability. ACE3 consists of 737 amino acids with molecular mass of 86 kDa.

Fig.2 Western blot analysis of ACE3 protein in crude extract of mouse sperm with anti-ACE3 antibody. The extract (10 μg protein) was separated in 10% SDS-PAGE gel and electro-blotted to PVDE membrane. The membrane was reacted with anti-ACES3 antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. As the 2nd antibody, anti-rabbit IgG antibody conjugated with HRP (ab97057) was used at 1/10,000 dilution.
