Androgen Receptor Antibody

SKU: orb385851

Description

The Androgen receptor gene is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain, and androgen-binding domain. The protein functions as a steroid-hormone activated transcription factor. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. This gene contains 2 polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine and polyglycine tracts in the N-terminal transactivation domain of its protein. [RefSeq]

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1),Prediluted IHC only format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the Androgen Receptor antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
