Related Product Information for anti-CRABP2 antibody
The cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP)-I and a related isoform CRABP-II are nuclear receptors for retinoic acid (RA), an important regulator of cell growth and differentiation in fetal and adult tissues. These CRABP proteins mediate the downstream effects of RA in distinct ways. CRABP-I negatively regulates the activity of RA by enhancing the production of RAmetabolizing enzymes and increasing the rate at which RA is degraded. CRABP-II enhances the effects of RA by directly interacting with RA receptors (RAR) and, in turn, promoting the formation of RAR-RA complexes and stimulating RA-mediated gene transcription. Both CRABP-I and CRABP-II are expressed in the embryo, and CRABP-I is ubiquitously expressed in various adult tissues. The expression of CRABP-II is elevated in cells that synthesize relatively large amounts of RA, and it is also predominantly expressed in skin, uterus, ovary, and in the choroid plexus.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the retinoic acid (RA, a form of vitamin A) binding protein family and lipocalin/cytosolic fatty-acid binding protein family. The protein is a cytosol-to-nuclear shuttling protein, which facilitates RA binding to its cognate receptor complex and transfer to the nucleus. It is involved in the retinoid signaling pathway, and is associated with increased circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Product Notes

The CRABP2 crabp2 (Catalog #AAA3011783) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CRABP2 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CRABP2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF). WB: 1:500-1:2000 IHC: 1:50-1:200 IF: 1:50-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CRABP2 crabp2 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 "CRABP2, 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.
