PDCL3 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone AT8F9)

PDCL3 (phosducin-like 3), also known as VIAF1 (viral IAP-associated factor 1), VIAF, PHLP3 or HTPHLP, is a widely expressed protein that belongs to the phosducin-like family of proteins. phosducin-like family members associate with the cytosolic chaperonin complex (CCT) and regulate the folding of proteins. Localizing to the cytoplasm, PDCL3 does not appear to play a role in G protein signaling, but participates in the chaperone-assisted folding of proteins, such as beta Tubulin and Actin, that are involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression. More specifically, PDCL3, when associated with CCT, represses the ATPase activity of CCT and ultimately disrupts the folding of the Actin or tubulin substrates.
