PATE3 antibody

Background of PATE3 antibody

PATE3 (prostate and testis expressed protein 3), also known as PATE-DJ or HEL-127, is a 98 amino acid protein that contains one UPAR/Ly6 domain and belongs to the PATE family. PATE3 is a secreted protein that is expressed in prostate and testis. The gene that encodes PATE3 consists of around 3,490 bases and maps to human chromosome 11p15.5. Chromosome 11, which comprises approximately 4% of the human genome, is considered a gene and disease association-dense chromosome. The chromosome 11 encoded Atm gene is important for regulation of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis following double strand D breaks. Atm mutation leads to the disorder known as ataxia-telangiectasia. The blood disorders Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are caused by HBB gene mutations, while Wilms' tumors, WAGR syndrome and Denys-Drash syndrome are associated with mutations of the WT1 gene. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, Jacobsen syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease, hereditary angioedema and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome are also associated with defects in chromosome 11-encoded genes.
