Description

Specificity
Rabbit Anti-Human APOBEC3G recognizes an epitope near the N-terminus of Human APOBEC3G. This polyclonal antibody was purified using affinity chromatography.
Background
The Apoliprotein B mRNA-editing, enzyme-catalytic, polypeptide-like (APOBEC) 3 is a multi-isoform member of the cytidine deaminase family of enzymes that act on monomeric nucleoside and nucleotide substrates.1 Similar to TRIM5α which targets incoming retroviral capsids, APOBEC3 plays a major role in cellular defense against retroviral infection2,3 as at least two isoforms, APOBEC3G and to a lesser extent APOBEC3F, can be incorporated HIV-1 virions and induce hypermutation in the newly synthesized viral DNA and thus destabilize the viral genome.4 This innate mechanism of retroviral resistance is counteracted by the HIV-1 Vif protein by inducing the ubiquitization and degradation of APOBEC3G; a single amino acid substitution (D128K) blocks APOBEC3G depletion without affecting its inhibitory activity.
