Desmoglein 3 (5G11) Monoclonal Antibody

详细技术说明

Project #:  D1995-17b Antigen Specificity: Desmoglein 3 Clone: 5G11 Specificity: Reacts with ~130 KDa desmoglein-3 protein Host species: Mouse Reactive species: Human Description:Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3), also known as Cadherin family member 6 (CDHF6), is a member of the desmosomal cadherin family and plays a critical role in cell-cell adhesion. It is predominately expressed in stratified squamous epithelium, including the skin, oral mucosa, and esophagus. Desmoglein 3 has been characterized as the auto-antigen of pemphigus vulgaris (PV), a life-threatening autoimmune disease. Binding of anti-Desmoglein 3 autoantibodies causes the loss of cell-cell adhesion, which clinically manifests as blisters on the skin and oral mucosa, and histologically as suprabasilar acantholysis. Applications: Western blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry-Frozen, Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin References:1.        Mahoney, MG; Hu, Y; Brennan, D; Bazzi, H; Christiano, AM; Wahl, JK III.
