Product Specific Information

PEP-081 is a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide whose sequence corresponds to residues 1-18 of mouse and rat caveolin-3 with a carboxy terminal cysteine added for carrier protein conjugation. This sequence is ~85% conserved in human CAV3. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus: M (1) M T E E H T D L E A R I I K D I H (18) C

This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and endogenous caveolin-3, catalog # PA1-066. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.

Target Information

Caveolin-3 (CAV3) acts as a scaffolding protein within the caveolar membrane. It interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. Caveolin-3 may also regulate voltage-gated potassium channels. It also plays a role in the sarcolemma repair mechanism of both skeletal muscle and cardiomyocytes that permits rapid resealing of membranes disrupted by mechanical stress. Caveolin-3 also mediates the recruitment of CAVIN2 and CAVIN3 proteins to the caveolae. Mutations in the gene can result in HyperCKmia, rippling muscle disease 2, cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome 9, sudden infant death syndrome, and myopathy.
