Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human HtrA3, different from the related mouse sequence by four amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by three amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 49 kDa; calculated MW: 48608 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Serine protease HTRA3; Serine protease HTRA3. Human HtrA3 protease, which induces mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, can be a tumor suppressor and a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of cancer. It may also have a role in ovarian development, granulosa cell differentiation and luteinization. The long isoform, HTRA3L, contains 453 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 49 kD. It contains an N-terminal signal peptide, followed by an insulin/IGF (see 147440)-binding domain, a Kazal-type S protease inhibitor domain, a trypsin protease domain, and a PDZ domain. The short isoform, HTRA3S, contains 357 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 38 kD. Functional note: Serine protease that cleaves beta-casein/CSN2 as well as several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteoglycans such as decorin/DCN, biglycan/BGN and fibronectin/FN1. Inhibits signaling mediated by TGF-beta family proteins possibly inly by degradation of these ECM proteoglycans (By similarity). May act as a tumor suppressor. Negatively regulates, in vitro, trophoblast invasion during placental development and may be involved in the development of the placenta in vivo. May also have a role in ovarian development, granulosa cell differentiation and luteinization (PubMed:21321049, PubMed:22229724). . Reported localization: Secreted . Secretion increased during decidualization of endometrial stromal cells. Expression/tissue context: Widely expressed, with highest levels in both adult and fetal heart, ovary, uterus placenta, and bladder. In the endometrium, expressed in epithelial glands and the stroma. Also present in leukocytes. Isoform 1 is predominant in heart and skeletal muscle, whereas isoform 2 is predominant in placenta and kidney. .

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative HTRA3 (Serine protease HTRA3) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
