Product description
Retinoic acid (RA; active metabolite of vitamin A) plays a prominent role in regulating the transition of proliferating precursor cells (such as carcinoma cells and neuronal precursors) to postmitotic differentiated cells (Joshi et al., 2005). The retinoid X receptors (RXRs) family (RXRalpha, beta and gamma), preferentially bind 9-cis-RA and regulate gene transcription by forming heterodimers with a second family of RA receptors. RAs have been suggested to potentially play a therapeutic role in cervical cancer (Abu et al., 2005). RAs are known to play key roles in neuronal development and an increasing body of evidence indicates that retinoid signaling may regulate synaptic plasticity and associated learning and memory behaviors (Lane and Bailey, 2005).1) Abu J, Batuwangala M, Herbert K, Symonds P (2005) Retinoic acid and retinoid receptors: potential chemopreventive and therapeutic role in cervical cancer.

Immunogen
Hinge peptide corresponding to amino acids from human, mouse and rat retinoid X receptor, y-isotype.
Key Feature
Clonality
Monoclonal
Isotype
IgG1
Host Species
Mouse
Tested Applications
WB
The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with mouse and rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with human tissue based on the fact that this species has 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.:
