Solute carrier family 45 member 3 (SLC45A3), commonly known as Prostein, is a prostate-restricted protein encoded by the SLC45A3 gene and localized primarily to the Golgi apparatus in secretory epithelial cells. Prostein Antibody is widely used to detect SLC45A3 as a marker of prostate epithelial differentiation, particularly within luminal cell populations that define glandular structure and function in the prostate.
Prostein antibody, also referred to as SLC45A3 antibody or prostate-specific androgen-regulated protein antibody, shows highly selective expression in prostate epithelial cells with minimal detection in non-prostatic tissues. This restricted expression profile reflects its role in maintaining epithelial identity and makes it a useful marker for distinguishing prostate-derived cells from other epithelial or stromal cell types. Its presence is closely associated with differentiated luminal epithelial cells, which are responsible for secretory activity within the prostate gland.
SLC45A3 is transcriptionally regulated by androgen receptor signaling and contributes to maintaining the differentiated state of prostate epithelial cells. Its expression is linked to androgen-responsive gene programs that support epithelial structure, polarity, and secretory function. As a result, Prostein serves as a reliable indicator of epithelial differentiation status in both normal prostate tissue and disease contexts where cellular identity may be altered.
The SLC45A3 protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus, producing a characteristic perinuclear staining pattern that reflects its role in intracellular trafficking and protein processing. This localization is consistent with the functional demands of differentiated epithelial cells, which require efficient protein sorting and secretion. The distinct subcellular distribution of Prostein provides additional context for interpreting expression patterns in tissue and cell-based studies.
Prostein Antibody clone ZR9 enables the identification of prostate epithelial cell populations and supports studies of epithelial differentiation, tissue organization, and lineage identity. In prostate cancer research, retention of SLC45A3 expression in many tumors further highlights its association with epithelial phenotype. Its combination of tissue specificity, functional relevance, and defined intracellular localization makes it a valuable tool for investigating prostate epithelial biology and differentiation-dependent processes.
Optimal dilution of the Prostein Antibody / Prostate Epithelial Differentiation Marker Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
An N terminus region peptide from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Prostein Antibody / Prostate Epithelial Differentiation Marker Antibody.
Store the recombinant Prostein antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
