Gene Information

human ... DSC1(1823)

General description

Desmocollin-1 precursor (DSC1) is a cadherin-related glycoprotein present in desmosomes. It belongs to the desmosomal cadherin family. The gene encoding this protein is localized on chromosome 18.

Immunogen

Desmocollin-1 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-DSC1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Desmocollin-1 precursor (DSC1) plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion. It maintains tissue integrity in epithelial cells and cardiac muscles.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Epidermal homeostasis is maintained through the balance between keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation and desquamation; however, human skin equivalent (HSE) models are known to differentiate excessively. In native tissue, proteases such as kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) 5 and KLK7 cleave the extracellular components

Desmosomes are adhesive epithelial junctions that contain two distinct classes of cadherin-related glycoproteins (desmogleins and desmocollins), both of which occur as several different isoforms whose expression is related to epithelial differentiation.
