Note
During shipment,small volumes of product will ocassionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. We recommend briefly centrifuging the vial to dislodge any liquid in the container's cap prior to opening.
Warning
This reagent may contain sodium azide. The chemical, physical, and toxicologial properties of this material have not been thoughly investigated.Standard Laboratory Practices should be followed. Avoid skin and eye contact,inhalation, and ingestion. Sodium azide forms hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions and may react with lead or copper plubing to form highly explosive metal azides. On disposal, flush with large volumes of water to prevent accumulation.
Preparation and Storage
Short term: 4°C
Long term: -20°C.
Other Notes
Small volumes of anti-ALK3 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
Related Product Information for
anti-ALK3 antibody
On ligand binding of BMP-2 and BMP-4, BMPR1A (a type I receptor) forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Targeted disruption of the BMPR1A receptor protein in the mesenchymal cells of the Mullerian ducts of mice leads to retention of oviducts and uteri in males.

NCBI Summary for ALK3
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptors are a family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases that include the type I receptors BMPR1A and BMPR1B and the type II receptor BMPR2. These receptors are also closely related to the activin receptors, ACVR1 and ACVR2. The ligands of these receptors are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. TGF-betas and activins transduce their signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes with 2 different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kD and type II receptors of about 70-80 kD. Type II receptors bind ligands in the absence of type I receptors, but they require their respective type I receptors for signaling, whereas type I receptors require their respective type II receptors for ligand binding.

UniProt Comments for ALK3
BMPR1A: a serine/threonine-protein kinase receptor for Bone morphogenetic protein-2 and -4 (BMP-2 and BMP-4). Defects in BMPR1A are a cause of juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) and Cowden disease (CD), a cancer syndrome characterized by multiple hamartomas and by a high risk for breast, thyroid and endometriel cancers.
