Biological background

Biological context: Calcium-dependent NADPH oxidase that generates superoxide. Also functions as a calcium-dependent proton channel and may regulate redox-dependent processes in lymphocytes and spermatozoa. May play a role in cell growth and apoptosis. Isoform v2 and isoform v5 are involved in endothelial generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), proliferation and angiogenesis and contribute to endothelial response to thrombin.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein., tissue context: Mainly expressed in pachytene spermatocytes of testis and in lymphocyte-rich areas of spleen and lymph nodes. Isoform v1 is expressed in spleen. Isoform v2 is expressed in testis. Also detected in ovary, placenta, pancreas, cardiac fibroblasts. Expressed in B-cells and prostate malignant cells. Isoform v1 and isoform v3 are expressed in epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Isoform v2 and isoform v4 are expressed in endothelial cells. Isoform v1, isoform v2, isoform v3 and isoform v4 are expressed in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Isoform v2 and isoform v5 are expressed in microvascular endothelial cells (at protein level)..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare DSG3 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of DSG3 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify DSG3-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: Desmoglein3 is also known as PVA(Pemphigus Vulgaris Antigen). Pemphigus vulgaris(PV) and pemphigus foliaceus(PF) are autoimmune diseases of the skin which have as target antigens 2 different members of the desmoglein subfamily of the desmosomal cadherins: pemphigus vulgaris antigen(PVA, or desmoglein-3) in the case of PV and desmoglein I in the case of PF. The DSG3 gene, like the genes for DSG1 and DSG2, is located on chromosome 18. The human DSG3 gene consists of 15 exons and spans more than 23 kb. DSG3 and DSG1 are the autoantigens of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, respectively. DSG3 and DSG1 are the target antigens in PNP, and IgG autoantibodies against DSG3 in PNP sera play a pathogenic role in the loss of keratinocyte adhesion and blistering.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
• Tissue details: Mainly expressed in pachytene spermatocytes of testis and in lymphocyte-rich areas of spleen and lymph nodes. Isoform v1 is expressed in spleen. Isoform v2 is expressed in testis.
