Recombinant Chicken Syndecan-3 (SDC3)

Chicken Syndecan-3 (SDC3) is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is involved in cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation, particularly in the nervous system and limb development. SDC3 interacts with multiple growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components, modulating cell signaling and tissue homeostasis. In chickens, SDC3 has been identified as a promising candidate gene for thick albumen synthesis and metabolism during egg formation. It is also implicated in immune regulation, with potential roles in inflammation and macrophage function. SDC3's ability to bind various ligands makes it an important regulator of cellular processes and a potential target for therapeutic interventions in developmental and inflammatory diseases.
