Uroplakin 3B antibody recognizes Uroplakin 3B, a membrane-associated protein encoded by the UPK3B gene and a member of the uroplakin family. Uroplakin 3B Antibody Recombinant Rabbit MAb is developed for research applications focused on detecting this differentiation-related epithelial marker in normal and neoplastic tissues. Uroplakin 3B localizes predominantly to the plasma membrane, where it contributes to specialized apical surface structures and epithelial barrier function.
UPK3B antibody, also referred to as Uroplakin 3B antibody and UPIII beta antibody in the literature, targets a single-pass transmembrane protein that forms heterodimeric complexes with other uroplakin family members. While Uroplakin 3A is a well-established structural component of urothelial plaques, Uroplakin 3B demonstrates broader expression, particularly in mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium. In these tissues, Uroplakin 3B shows a characteristic membranous staining pattern reflecting its localization to the cell surface.
Uroplakin 3B has gained importance as a marker of mesothelial differentiation. UPK3B expression has been documented in normal mesothelium and in mesothelioma, as well as in certain Müllerian-derived and other epithelial tumors. Because of this distribution, UPK3B antibody is frequently used in research settings examining lineage differentiation and tumor classification, particularly when distinguishing mesothelial from non-mesothelial neoplasms.
Structurally, Uroplakin 3B contains an extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail. It participates in formation and stabilization of specialized membrane domains in differentiated epithelial cells. Altered expression or distribution of UPK3B may reflect changes in epithelial differentiation status or malignant transformation.
The recombinant rabbit monoclonal clone UPK3B/8768R targets Uroplakin 3B for research use. Detection of distinct membranous staining patterns supports investigation of mesothelial biology, epithelial differentiation, and tumor origin in tissue-based studies at NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Uroplakin 3B antibody recombinant rabbit mAb should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 100-300) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Uroplakin 3B antibody recombinant rabbit mAb.
Aliquot the Uroplakin 3B antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
