Product details:
Human Desmoglein 3 ELISA kit (ab275902) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Desmoglein 3 protein in human cell extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Desmoglein 3 with 8 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.
Desmoglein 3 (DSG3, PVA) is a key component of cell-cell junctions in many epithelial type cells. Auto-antibody formation to DSG3 and subsequent loss of adhesive function is the main cause of pemphigus vulgaris, a skin blistering disease. Antibodies for this kit were raised against an immunogen which represents the N-terminal half of the mature protein. This protein does not share high sequence identity in mouse or rat samples (72 and 68%, respectively) and, therefore, this kit is not expected to cross-react.

Desmoglein 3 (DSG3) also known as anti-DSG3 is an important component in maintaining cellular adhesion within epithelial tissues. It belongs to the cadherin family and has a mass of approximately 130 kDa. You will find DSG3 expressed mainly in epithelial cells particularly in the skin and mucosal linings. As a transmembrane glycoprotein DSG3 interacts with other desmoglein proteins such as desmoglein 1 to form desmosomes which are essential for the mechanical coupling of cells.
Biological function summary
This protein plays a fundamental role in cell adhesion by contributing to the integrity and strength of desmosomes. These are multi-protein complexes that secure cell-to-cell attachments in tissues exposed to mechanical stress. Within the desmosomes DSG3 interacts closely with other proteins including plakoglobin and plakophilins ensuring the stability of the cellular junctions. This makes DSG3 an integral part of maintaining tissue structure and resilience.
Pathways
Desmoglein 3 participates notably in the WNT signaling pathway and is involved in pathways associated with cell adhesion. In these pathways its interaction with plakoglobin which is also known as gamma-catenin plays an important role. This interaction influences signaling processes that modulate cellular adhesion and proliferation. Desmosomes facilitated by DSG3 are connective points in epidermal growth regulation pathways emphasizing DSG3's involvement in cellular cohesion and communication.
Desmoglein 3 is strongly linked to the autoimmune disease pemphigus vulgaris. In this condition autoantibodies target DSG3 disrupting its function in desmosomes and leading to blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Desmoglein 3's relationship with desmoglein 1 is also relevant in the disease process as these proteins' shared function in cell adhesion becomes compromised. Therefore understanding DSG3's interactions and functions is vital for exploring therapeutic strategies in treating such disorders.
