GOAT ANTI RXR ALPHA

Gene Names
RXRA; NR2B1
Reactivity
Mouse (Expected from Sequence), Rat (Expected from Sequence)
Applications
ELISA, Western Blot
Synonyms
RXR ALPHA; Polyclonal Antibody; GOAT ANTI RXR ALPHA; anti-RXR ALPHA antibody
Ordering
For Research Use Only!
Host
Goat
Reactivity
Mouse (Expected from Sequence), Rat (Expected from Sequence)
Clonality
Polyclonal
Isotype
IgG
Specificity
This item detects an epitope within the internal region of retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha). RXR alpha is a 54kD member of the steroid/ thyroid receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators, and is a nuclear receptor that mediates the biological effects of retinoids through its involvement in retinoic acid-mediated gene activation. RXR alpha regulates gene transcription by recruiting coactivators or corepressors to their promoter sequences.

RXRs play important roles in multiple signalling pathways, including cell growth, differentiation, homeostasis, metabolism, and development.

This item does not cross-react with either RXR beta or gamma.

NCBI Description

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are nuclear receptors that mediate the biological effects of retinoids by their involvement in retinoic acid-mediated gene activation. These receptors function as transcription factors by binding as homodimers or heterodimers to specific sequences in the promoters of target genes. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Uniprot Description

RXRA: Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RAR/RXR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. The high affinity ligand for RXRs is 9-cis retinoic acid. RXRA serves as a common heterodimeric partner for a number of nuclear receptors. The RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence of ligand, the RXR-RAR heterodimers associate with a multiprotein complex containing transcription corepressors that induce histone acetylation, chromatin condensation and transcriptional suppression. On ligand binding, the corepressors dissociate from the receptors and associate with the coactivators leading to transcriptional activation. The RXRA/PPARA heterodimer is required for PPARA transcriptional activity on fatty acid oxidation genes such as ACOX1 and the P450 system genes. Homodimer. Heterodimer with RARA; required for ligand- dependent retinoic acid receptor transcriptional activity. Heterodimer with PPARA (via the leucine-like zipper in the LBD); the interaction is required for PPARA transcriptional activity. Also heterodimerizes with PPARG. Interacts with NCOA3 and NCOA6 coactivators. Interacts with FAM120B. Interacts with PELP1, SENP6, SFPQ, DNTTIP2 and RNF8. Interacts (via the DNA binding domain) with HCV core protein; the interaction enhances the transcriptional activities of the RXRA/RARA and the RXRA/PPARA heterodimers. Interacts with PRMT2. Interacts with ASXL1 and NCOA1. Highly expressed in liver, also found in lung, kidney and heart. Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.

Product Notes

The RXR ALPHA rxra (Catalog #AAA221408) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GOAT ANTI RXR ALPHA reacts with Mouse (Expected from Sequence), Rat (Expected from Sequence) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's RXR ALPHA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: This item detects a band of approximately 55kDa in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 lysates. A minimum incubation time of 1 hour is recommended with this antibody. ELISA: Minimum Dilution: 1/15000; Maximum Dilution: 1/20000 Western Blotting: Minimum Dilution: 0.5; Maximum Dilution: 3ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RXR ALPHA rxra for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RXR ALPHA, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
