PSMA3 Western Blot Experimental Design Guide
Expected bands, validated protocols, controls and antibodies — the at-a-glance facts below, then the full design guide.
Must know before running
| Expected band | 28.4 kDa | |
| Observed band | Not reported — verify product WB image | |
| Gel | 12-15% | |
| Positive control | Adrenal gland | |
| Negative control | Cerebral cortex |
Important caveats
Reasons your observed band may differ from the expected size.
| ⓘ | Calculated mass | 28.4 kDa |

Section 1
Real Curated PSMA3 Western Blot Protocols
Start with the molecular-weight rule, then compare verified publication-derived conditions.
| Sample / lysate | Adrenal gland |
| Gel % | 12-15% |
| Load | 20-30 µg total protein per lane |
| Transfer | Semi-dry, short transfer |
| Membrane | 0.45 µm PVDF |
| Blocking | 5% non-fat milk or 5% BSA in TBST |
| Primary | PB10089 at datasheet starting dilution |
| Primary incubation | Overnight at 4 °C with gentle agitation |
| Secondary | Species-matched HRP conjugate at validated dilution |
| Wash | 3 × 5 min in TBST |
| Detection | Chemiluminescent substrate |
| Exposure | Bracket exposures to avoid saturation |

What Is the Expected PSMA3 Western Blot Band Size?
Use the product-observed 28.4 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.
| 28.4 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. |
| 28.4 kDa calculated | Use as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band. |
| Unexpected additional signal | Do not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls. |
💡Expected PSMA3 appearancePlan around 28.4 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
| Catalog-observed band | 28.4 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation. |
| Calculated mass | 28.4 kDa from UniProt P25788; retain as context. |
| Gel selection | 12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster. |
| Specificity check | Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with PB10089. |
| Situation | Likely cause | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| 28.4 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. | Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record. |
| Additional band | May reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal. | Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls. |
| Weak signal | Target abundance or transfer may be limiting. | Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure. |

Sample controls for PSMA3 Western blot
🧪Use Adrenal gland as the first positive-control candidate and Cerebral cortex as the HPA Not detected negative candidate.
Positive control: Adrenal gland (High)
Negative control: Cerebral cortex (Not detected)
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Advanced PSMA3 Western Blot Tips
Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for PSMA3, answered from its protein features.
Which band should guide the blot?
Use 28.4 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative PB10089 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 28.4 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Adrenal gland, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use Cerebral cortex as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.
Which gel should I use?
Use 12-15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for PSMA3 Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should PB10089 be started?
Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.
Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?
Compare only the supplied target-verified records: PMC7367030, PMC7894524, PMC11005211.
