DSC3 Antibody

DSC3 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.The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-dependent glycoprotein that is a member of the desmocollin subfamily of the cadherin superfamily.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store DSC3 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

DSC3 antibody can be used for detection of DSC3 by ELISA at 1:62500. DSC3 antibody can be used for detection of DSC3 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
