Target/Specificity | This DSC3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 822-850 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human DSC3. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | DSC3 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DSC3 |

Synonyms | CDHF3, DSC4 |
Function | A component of desmosome cell-cell junctions which are required for positive regulation of cellular adhesion (By similarity). Required for cell-cell adhesion in the epidermis, as a result required for the maintenance of the dermal cohesion and the dermal barrier function (PubMed:19717567). Required for cell-cell adhesion of epithelial cell layers surrounding the telogen hair club, as a result plays an important role in telogen hair shaft anchorage (By similarity). Essential for successful completion of embryo compaction and embryo development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, desmosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55850} Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55850}. Note=Expressed in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane of oocytes {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55850} |
Tissue Location | Expressed throughout the basal and spinous layer of the epidermis with weak expression in the granular layer (at protein level) (PubMed:19717567, PubMed:7665906). Also expressed in the buccal mucosa, esophagus and cervix (at protein level) (PubMed:7665906) |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein that is a member of the desmocollin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. These desmosomal family members, along with the desmogleins, are found primarily in epithelial cells where they constitute the adhesive proteins of the desmosome cell-cell junction and are required for cell adhesion and desmosome formation. The desmosomal family members are arranged in two clusters on chromosome 18, occupying less than 650 kb combined. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
