Specificity / Sensitivity
Androgen Receptor (D6F11) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Biotinylated) detects endogenous levels of total androgen receptor protein.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein corresponding to residues near the amino terminal region of human androgen receptor protein.
Background
Androgen receptor (AR), a zinc finger transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, is activated by phosphorylation and dimerization upon ligand binding (1). This promotes nuclear localization and binding of AR to androgen response elements in androgen target genes. Research studies have shown that AR plays a crucial role in several stages of male development and the progression of prostate cancer (2,3).
