The C2CD3 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC047926) is a valuable tool for researchers studying C2CD3, a protein involved in ciliogenesis and centriole biogenesis. This antibody, produced in rabbits, has high specificity and sensitivity for detecting C2CD3 in human samples, making it ideal for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the C2CD3 protein, researchers can investigate its function in various cell types, providing insights into cellular processes related to cilia formation and centriole assembly.
C2CD3 is a key player in the regulation of ciliary structure and function, essential for processes such as cell signaling, motility, and sensory perception. Dysregulation of cilia formation has been linked to a range of human diseases, including ciliopathies and certain types of cancer. By studying the role of C2CD3 in these processes, researchers can gain a better understanding of disease mechanisms and potentially identify new therapeutic targets for intervention.

Background:
Component of the centrioles that acts as a positive regulator of centriole elongation. Promotes assembly of centriolar distal appendage, a structure at the distal end of the mother centriole that acts as an anchor of the cilium, and is required for recruitment of centriolar distal appendages proteins CEP83, SCLT1, CEP89, FBF1 and CEP164. Not required for centriolar satellite integrity or RAB8 activation. Required for primary cilium formation. Required for sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling and for proteolytic processing of GLI3.
Synonyms:
C2 domain-containing protein 3, C2CD3

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a protein that functions as a regulator of centriole elongation. Studies of the orthologous mouse protein show that it promotes centriolar distal appendage assembly and is also required for the recruitment of other ciliogenic proteins, including intraflagellar transport proteins. Mutations in this gene cause orofaciodigital syndrome XIV (OFD14), a ciliopathy resulting in malformations of the oral cavity, face and digits. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
