REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

LAP3 also known as leukotriene A4 hydrolase has a molecular weight of approximately 53 kDa. This enzyme functions as an aminopeptidase which is a type of enzyme that removes amino acids from the amino terminus of proteins and peptides. It is expressed in many tissues with significant levels found in the liver and kidney. LAP3 also shows activity in the cellular cytoplasm indicating it plays a role in cellular metabolic processes.
Biological function summary
LAP3 participates in protein maturation and degradation. It plays a role in processing peptides that are destined for further degradation or cellular signaling. The LAP3 protein is not known to be part of a larger complex but it works alongside other enzymes involved in peptide metabolism. This activity contributes to the regulation of intracellular peptide concentrations and supports cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
LAP3 is linked to important biological processes such as protein catabolism and the regulation of blood pressure. It interacts within the peptide processing pathways to influence the generation of bioactive peptides. LAP3 works in conjunction with other proteolytic enzymes such as aminopeptidases and endopeptidases which are essential for various cellular functions. Through these pathways LAP3 indirectly impacts the regulation of physiological processes.
LAP3 is associated with hypertension and certain metabolic disorders. It influences conditions like high blood pressure through its role in generating peptides that can modulate vascular functions. LAP3 has connections with proteins involved in these conditions such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) which also plays a part in blood pressure regulation. Understanding the functions of LAP3 aids in delineating its potential as a therapeutic target for these diseases.
