Anti-TACC3 Antibody from rabbit, purified by affinity chromatography

Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 (UniProt Q9Y6A5; also known as ERIC-1 and AINT) is encoded by the TACC3 (also known as ERIC1) gene (Gene ID 10460) in human. Human TACC3 gene localizes close to the FGFR3 gene in 4p16, a region that is disrupted in multiple myeloma. TACC proteins have emerged as important players in the complex process of regulating microtubule dynamics during cell division. Three family members have been identified in humans: TACC1, TACC2, and TACC3. TACC3 plays a role in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome and is involved in the processes that regulate centrosome-mediated interkinetic nuclear migration of neural progenitors. TACC3 is expressed in relatively few adult tissues, but it shows elevated levels in testis and ovary, and in the hematopoietic lineages. During mouse development, TACC3 is present in all the embryonic stages and particularly in proliferating tissues. A comparison of the human and mouse TACC3 proteins shows a sequence conservation within the first 103 amino acids at the N-terminal region and the C-terminal 318 amino acids, which includes the coiled coil domain.
