Anti-Estrogen Receptor α Antibody

32160702

NA.41

Estrogen Receptor alpha is a 65 kDa protein and a member of the steroid family of nuclear receptors. Estrogen Receptor alpha is a ligand-activated transcription factor that, when bound to estrogen, induces a conformational change that allows dimerization and binding to estrogen response element sequences. When bound to DNA, Estrogen Receptor alpha can positively or negatively regulate gene transcription. Like other steroid hormone receptors, Estrogen Receptors are intracellular proteins. Estrogen Receptors play an important role in regulating mammary gland growth and differentiation. Breast tumors that are ER positive may also show a more favorable response to anti-estrogen therapies.

This antibody recognizes the C-terminus of Estrogen Receptor alpha.

Epitope: C-terminus.
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of rat Estrogen Receptor alpha.

~58 kDa observed. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot P06211 (ESR1_RAT) lists a molecular weight of 67 kDa A molecular weight between 52-58 kDA due to variant isoforms may be observed in some cell lysates (Al-Bader, M.D. (2006). Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 4:13.; Geisler, J.G. et al. (2002). Diabetes. 51(7):2158-2169.). Uncharacterized bands may be seen at a molecular weight of ~10 kDa, ~35 kDa, ~41 kDa, ~105 kDa, and ~220 kDa in some cell lysates.
