Anti-SCGB3A1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein secretoglobin family 3A member 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 104 amino acid residues and a mass of 10.1 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the lung and prostate. A member of the Secretoglobin protein family, SCGB3A1 is known to be involved with the regulation of cell growth and the regulation of cell proliferation.
The SCGB3A1 marker can be used to identify Prostatic Urethra Club Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include cytokine high in normal-1, high in normal 1, pneumo secretory protein 2, uteroglobin-related protein 2, and cytokine HIN-1. SCGB3A1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. A number of SCGB3A1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunofluorescence is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
