General description

BTG3 is a tumor suppression protein because overexpression impairs serum-induced cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to the S phase in vitro. BTG3 is often down regulated in cancer cell lines, and thus BTG3 is a target for enhanced cancer therapy. In normal cells BTG3 inhibits cell proliferation, cell invasion, and angiogenesis, and also regulates cell-cycle progression and differentiation in a variety of cell types. Developmentally BTG3 is normally expressed primarily in the brain and CNS during development where is modulates cell proliferation. In the adult expression is high in ovary, testis, prostate, thymus and lung. It is not expressed strongly in many cancers.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human BTG3.

Target description

~37 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysates. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 29 kDa, but can be observed at ~37 kDa due to alternate splice variants.
