Product Name :
Androgen Receptor
Description :
| Clone F39.4.1 | Isotype IgG1 | Product Type Monoclonal Antibody | Units 1 ml | Host Mouse | Species Reactivity Human | Application Immunohistochemistry (frozen) Immunohistochemistry (paraffin)
Background :
This monoclonal antibody is specifically designed to recognize a unique immunogenic N-terminal transactivation domain of the androgen receptor that has a low degree of homology with other steroid receptors. This antibody binds to synthetic peptide SP61 (amino acids 301-320) of human androgen receptor as assessed by ELISA and recognizes a 100 kD human androgen receptor protein in Western blot analysis. In addition, this antibody binds to native human androgen receptor in immunoprecipitation, sucrose gradient centrifugation, and immunohistochemistry. This antibody does not cross-react with human estrogen, progesterone or glucocorticoid receptor. Immunogen: Synthetic peptide
Source :
The antibody to androgen receptors binds to these proteins in nuclei of typical normal tissues. Over-expression may be observed in tumours like prostate carcinoma and osteosarcoma. For information transmission to the target cells male steroid hormones like Testosterone and DHT require a specific receptor. This specific receptor, called androgen receptor, is found in numerous human tissues like skin, mucous membranes, seminal vesicles, prostate gland and testis. Androgen receptors will also be found in human tumours like prostate carcinoma, osteosarcoma and others. In prostate carcinoma the clinical relevance has been proven by castration and androgen deprivation by Gn-RH-agonist and -antagonist treatment. In many cases androgen deprivation slows down tumour growth in androgen-dependent prostate carcinoma. Human androgen receptor, 110 kDa protein in lysate of LNCP cell line.. <
