Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:100
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
Androgen Receptor Antibody (Carboxy-terminal Antigen) recognizes endogenous levels of total Androgen Receptor protein. This antibody does not detect AR-V7 isoform.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val662 of human Androgen Receptor protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
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).
