Rabbit anti-Mouse, Rat CYP11A1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-CYP11A1 antibody
Anti-CYP11A1 antibody
Background: CYP11A1(Cytochrome p450, family 11, subfamily A, polypeptide 1), also called CYTOCHROME P450SCC, CYTOCHROME P450C11A1 or CYP11A, is a mitochondrial enzyme associated with the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. CYP11A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The CYP11A1 gene is mapped on 15q24.1. Expression of the CYP11A1 gene may play a role in skin physiology and pathology and that cutaneous proopiomelanocortin activity may be autoregulated by a feedback mechanism involving glucocorticoids synthesized locally by Slominski et al. Using in vitro studies, CYP11A1 catalyzed the side-chain cleavage of 7-dehydrocholesterol to form 7-dehydropregnenolone. In addition, CYP11A1 catalyzed the metabolism of biologically inert vitamin D3, which is formed from 7-dehydrocholesterol, to form 2 hydroxylated products, 20-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 20, 22-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Mutations in the CYP11A1 gene cause congenital adrenal insufficiency with partial or complete 46, XY sex reversal.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
CYP11A1: Catalyzes the side-chain cleavage reaction of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Defects in CYP11A1 are the cause of adrenal insufficiency congenital with 46,XY sex reversal (AICSR). A rare disorder that can present as acute adrenal insufficiency in infancy or childhood. ACTH and plasma renin activity are elevated and adrenal steroids are inappropriately low or absent; the 46,XY patients have female external genitalia, sometimes with clitoromegaly. The phenotypic spectrum ranges from prematurity, complete underandrogenization, and severe early-onset adrenal failure to term birth with clitoromegaly and later-onset adrenal failure. Patients with congenital adrenal insufficiency do not manifest the massive adrenal enlargement typical of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.

Product Notes
The CYP11A1 cyp11a1 (Catalog #AAA176856) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-CYP11A1 antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CYP11A1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CYP11A1 cyp11a1 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 "CYP11A1, 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
