Protein Name & Synonyms:
VDR
Applications:
ELISA (dilution: 0.3, 1.0ug/ml), Western Blotting
Concentration (lot specific):
IgG concentration 0.5 mg/ml
Preparation:
Antisera to human Vitamin D receptor were raised by repeated immunisations of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
Species Reactivity:
Human
This product detects a band of approximately 40-45kDa in human brain cell lysates. A minimum incubation time of 1 hour is recommended with this antibody.
This product recognizes human vitamin D nuclear hormone receptor (VDR) a 48 kDa member of the trans-acting transcriptional regulatory factors. On binding vitamin D, VDR regulates the expression of hormone sensitive genes. The main downstream target of VDR is involved in bone mineral metabolism although VDR is also involved in immune response and cancer metabolic pathways. VDR also acts as a receptor for secondary bile acid lithocholic acid. Additionally, signalling and oncogenic activity of beta-catenin signalling has been shown to be repressed by VDR.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
