FGFR3 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least three isoforms of FGFR3 are known to exist, this antibody will detect all three.
Purification
FGFR3 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
FGFR3 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human FGFR3. The immunogen is located within amino acids 630 - 680 of FGFR3.
FGF3 antibody can be used for detection of FGFR3 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL.

FGFR3 Antibody: FGFR3 is a tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis (1). It is required for normal skeleton development and promotes apoptosis in chondrocytes and cancer cell proliferation. FGFR3 protein contains three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain (1,2). It is alternatively spliced to produce three isoforms that are expressed in brain, kidney and testis. Defects in FGFR3 are associated with several diseases, including achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia (3,4). Mutations in FGFR3 are also a cause of some bladder and cervical cancers (5).
