The DPPA3 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC057224) is a valuable tool for researchers studying DPPA3, a protein known for its role in pluripotency and embryonic stem cell development. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits strong reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the DPPA3 protein, researchers can accurately detect and analyze its expression in various cell types, making it an excellent choice for studies in developmental biology and regenerative medicine.DPPA3, also referred to as developmental pluripotency-associated 3, is essential for maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells and has been implicated in early embryonic development.
Understanding the functions and regulatory mechanisms of DPPA3 is crucial for advancing our knowledge of pluripotency and potentially unlocking new strategies for regenerative medicine and therapeutic applications. Researchers focusing on stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and developmental biology will find the DPPA3 Polyclonal Antibody to be a valuable asset in their work.

IHC image of PACO57224 diluted at 1:400 and staining in paraffin-embedded human testis tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Background:
Primordial germ cell (PGCs)-specific protein involved in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization. In zygotes, DNA demethylation occurs selectively in the paternal pronucleus before the first cell division, while the adjacent maternal pronucleus and certain paternally-imprinted loci are protected from this process. Participates in protection of DNA methylation in the maternal pronucleus by preventing conversion of 5mC to 5hmC: specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 dimethylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me2) on maternal genome, and protects maternal genome from TET3-mediated conversion to 5hmC and subsequent DNA demethylation. Does not bind paternal chromatin, which is mainly packed into protamine and does not contain much H3K9me2 mark. Also protects imprinted loci that are marked with H3K9me2 in mature sperm from DNA demethylation in early embryogenesis. May be important for the totipotent/pluripotent states continuing through preimplantation development. Also involved in chromatin condensation in oocytogenesis (By similarity).

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a protein that in mice may function as a maternal factor during the preimplantation stage of development. In mice, this gene may play a role in transcriptional repression, cell division, and maintenance of cell pluripotentiality. In humans, related intronless loci are located on chromosomes 14 and X.
