Rabbit anti-Human Androgen Receptor Polyclonal Antibody | anti-AR antibody
Androgen Receptor (Ab-363) Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI 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. Expansion of the polyglutamine tract causes spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy disease). Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS). Two alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Product Notes
The AR ar (Catalog #AAA9408665) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Androgen Receptor (Ab-363) Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Androgen Receptor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western blotting: 1:500~1:3000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AR ar 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 "Androgen Receptor, 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.Precautions
