Rabbit anti-Human REG3A Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q06141

Target Species

Human

Target Name

REG3A

Target Full Name

Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha

Target Function

Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan. Regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation after skin injury via activation of EXTL3-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted. Note=Found in the apical region of pancreatic acinar cells.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes of psoriasis patients (at protein level). Constitutively expressed in intestine. Low expression is found in healthy pancreas. Overexpressed during the acute phase of pancreatitis and in some patients with chroni

Target Research Area

Immunology

Target Background

This gene encodes a pancreatic secretory protein that may be involved in cell proliferation or differentiation. It has similarity to the C-type lectin superfamily. The enhanced expression of this gene is observed during pancreatic inflammation and liver carcinogenesis. The mature protein also functions as an antimicrobial protein with antibacterial activity. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
