REG-3 alpha/REG3A Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The REG-3 alpha/REG3A protein is a bactericidal C-type lectin that selectively targets Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the peptidoglycan carbohydrate moiety. Its antimicrobial action extends to membrane phospholipid binding, forming pores that help eliminate bacteria. REG-3 alpha/REG3A Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived REG-3 alpha/REG3A protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The REG-3 alpha/REG3A protein is a bactericidal C-type lectin that selectively targets Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the peptidoglycan carbohydrate moiety. Its antimicrobial action extends to membrane phospholipid binding, forming pores that help eliminate bacteria. REG-3 alpha/REG3A Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived REG-3 alpha/REG3A protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

REG-3 alpha/REG3A, a bactericidal C-type lectin, exclusively targets Gram-positive bacteria, mediating bacterial killing by binding to surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties of peptidoglycan. Its antimicrobial action extends to binding membrane phospholipids, forming hexameric membrane-permeabilizing oligomeric pores that contribute to bacterial elimination. Acting as a hormone, REG-3 alpha responds to various stimuli, including anti-inflammatory signals such as IL17A and the gut microbiome. Upon secretion by diverse cell types, REG-3 alpha activates its receptor EXTL3, initiating cell-specific signaling pathways. IL17A-induced REG-3 alpha expression in keratinocytes regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation after skin injury through the activation of the EXTL3-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Simultaneously, REG-3 alpha inhibits skin inflammation by suppressing inflammatory cytokines like IL6 and TNF. Notably, in the pancreas, REG-3 alpha permeabilizes beta-cell membranes and stimulates their proliferation.
