Scientific Data

Western Blot View Larger

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat PON3 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue, an enriched HDL /LDL sample obtained from ultracentrifugation of human plasma, mouse liver, and rat liver tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Human/Mouse/Rat PON3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4345) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). A specific band was detected for PON3 at approximately 40 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.

Preparation and Storage

Background: PON3

The paraoxonase (PON) gene family of antioxidant enzymes includes three known members located adjacent to each other on chromosome 7. Paraoxonase/lactonase 3 (PON3) is a 354 amino acid, 39.6 kDa protein that is secreted into the bloodstream and associates with high-density lipoprotein (HDL). PON3 has lactonase activity (EC 3.1.1) and rapidly hydrolyzes lactones. PON3 exhibits no paraoxonase and very limited arylesterase activities. PON3 is an important antioxidant and can inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a function that may slow the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. PON3 is glycosylated at Asn323 and alternatively spliced variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described; however, only one has been fully characterized. Human PON3 shares 81% amino acid identity with mouse and rat PON3.
