Target/Specificity | This REG3A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 12-39 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human REG3A. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 FC~~1:10~50 |
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 | REG3A Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Function | [Regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha 15 kDa form]: Bactericidal C-type lectin which acts exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria and mediates bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan (PubMed:16931762). Binds membrane phospholipids and kills bacteria by forming a hexameric membrane-permeabilizing oligomeric pore (PubMed:24256734). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Note=Found in the apical region of pancreatic acinar cells |
Tissue Location | Expressed by keratinocytes (PubMed:27830702). Highly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes of psoriasis patients (at protein level) (PubMed:22727489). Constitutively expressed in intestine. Low expression is found in healthy pancreas. Overexpressed during the acute phase of pancreatitis and in some patients with chronic pancreatitis (PubMed:1469087). |

Background
REG3A 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 protein is observed during pancreatic inflammation and liver carcinogenesis.
