Does not cross-react with estrogen and glucocorticoid receptors. About 50% of breast tumors express vitamin D receptor protein. For gel shift assays, order antibody at 1 mg/ml; contact Customer Service for additional information. For paraffin sections pre-treatment in 2N HCl for 20 min at 37°C prior to staining. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
