Product details:
Human PR3 ELISA Kit (ab226902) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PR3 protein in cell culture extracts and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human PR3 with 150 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Proteinase 3 (PR3) also known as PRTN3 is a serine protease with a mass of approximately 29 kDa. It belongs to the human neutrophil elastase (HNE) family and is mainly expressed in neutrophils. Within these immune cells PR3 localizes to azurophilic granules where it participates in early immune responses. The proteolytic activity of PR3 involves cleaving peptide bonds in target proteins contributing to the processing and degradation of various proteins important for immune function.
Biological function summary
Proteinase 3 serves multiple roles including modulating inflammation and immune responses. PR3 functions as part of a complex with azurophilic granules aiding in microbial defense mechanisms. In addition the protease regulates cytokine activation and deactivation which in turn influences cell signaling related to inflammation. Its enzymatic action ensures that PR3 can manage inflammatory processes by breaking down extracellular matrix components thereby allowing white blood cells to access infection sites.
Pathways
Proteinase 3 plays an important role within the serine protease and inflammatory pathways. It interacts with other proteins such as neutrophil elastase with which it shares a pathway to modulate immune responses. PR3 also partners with cathepsin G contributing to processes such as pathogen clearance and tissue remodeling providing a coordinated response during infection and injury. These interactions show PR3's involvement in regulating the balance between inflammation and tissue repair.
PR3 is notably associated with Wegener's granulomatosis also known as granulomatosis with polyangiitis. This autoimmune condition results in systemic vasculitis where anti-proteinase 3 antibodies notably characterize the disease. Additionally PR3 plays a part in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where its proteolytic activity contributes to tissue damage in the lungs. In both conditions PR3 interplays with related proteins like myeloperoxidase further demonstrating its importance in processes leading to these disorders.
