Anti-Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-3 Antibody, clone MC-631

32160702

Stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 (SSEA-3) is a glycosphingolipid composed of five carbohydrate units connected to a sphingolipid. Sphingolipids are key players in cell signaling and the SSEA-3 is a well known marker of stem cells (ESCs, MSCs, iPSCs, CSCs) differentiation, where SSEA-3 rapidly disappears when the cells start to differentiate.

Reacts with the Stage-specific embryonic antigen-3 (SSEA-3) that is expressed on the surface of human teratocarcinoma stem cells (EC), human embryonic germ cells (EG) and human embryonic stem cells (ES). No immunoreactivity is evident with undifferentiated murine EC, ES and EG cells. Expression of SSEA-3 is down regulated following differentiation of human EC cells. In contrast, the differentiation of murine EC and ES cells may be accompanied by an increase in SSEA-3 expression.

4-8 cell stage mouse embryos.
