Rabbit anti-Human AOC3 Polyclonal Antibody, FITC conjugated

Uniprot Id

Q16853

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AOC3

Target Full Name

Amine oxidase [copper-containing] 3

Target Function

Cell adhesion protein that participates in lymphocyte extravasation and recirculation by mediating the binding of lymphocytes to peripheral lymph node vascular endothelial cells in an L-selectin-independent fashion. Has semicarbazide-sensitive (SSAO) monoamine oxidase activity. May play a role in adipogenesis.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Copper/topaquinone oxidase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Strongly expressed on the high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes and on hepatic endothelia. Also highly expressed in appendix, lung and small intestine. Expressed also in adipose tissue, in bone marrow, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, pancreas, p

Target Synonyms

Amine oxidase; copper containing 3 (vascular adhesion protein 1); AOC3; AOC3_HUMAN; Copper amine oxidase; HPAO; Membrane copper amine oxidase; Membrane primary amine oxidase; Semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase; Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase; SSAO; VAP-1; Vascular adhesion protein 1; VP97

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase family. Copper amine oxidases catalyze the oxidative conversion of amines to aldehydes in the presence of copper and quinone cofactor. The encoded protein is localized to the cell surface, has adhesive properties as well as monoamine oxidase activity, and may be involved in leukocyte trafficking. Alterations in levels of the encoded protein may be associated with many diseases, including diabetes mellitus. A pseudogene of this gene has been described and is located approximately 9-kb downstream on the same chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
