The antibody AGR3.4 recognizes the PLMII epitope of AGR3 (AG3) and AGR2 (AG2) proteins (19-20 kDa), secreted cytoplasmic proteins which can serve as markers of carcinogenesis.
AGR2 (Anterior Gradient 2), also known as AG2 (hAG-2, HAG2 in human), or GOB-4, and AGR3 (Anterior Gradient 3), also known as AG3 (hAG-3, HAG3 in human), or BCMP11, are secreted cytoplasmic proteins which are involved in metastasis induction and p53 tumour supressor inhibition. They may serve as molecular markers and potential therapeutic targets for hormone-responsive breast tumours, AGR2 was reported also as a marker of other carcinomas. Xenopus homolog of these proteins is associated with anteroposterior fate determination during early development.,AG2, AG3, HAG2, HAG3
