(Mouse) Dppa3 Antibody (C-term) [APR14726G]

(Mouse) Dppa3 Antibody (C-term) [APR14726G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: M

Specificity: This mouse Dppa3 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 134-170 amino acids from the C-terminal region of mouse Dppa3.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Localized in the cytoplasm at the primary oocyte stage and in oocytes within mono- laminar follicles. Expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of oocytes in bi-laminar and Graafian follicles and during the 2-cell and morula stages. In 3.5 dpc blastocysts localization is mainly nuclear. Mainly localizes in the female pronucleus, localization to the male pronucleus in much weaker

Molecular Weight: 17670

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: Dppa3

Gene ID: 73708

Function: 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.

Summary: Tissue Location: Expressed in the immature oocytes and in newborn ovaries. Subsequently detected in maturing oocytes and in preimplantation embryos. Expressed in pluripotent embryonic but not in differentiated somatic cells. Expressed in blastocysts, epiblasts, primordial germ cells, embryonic gonads and primitive spermatogonia. No expression is detected in adult testes.
