The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-Aromatase antibody is suitable to detect Aromatase in samples from Human, Rat and Mouse. It has been validated for WB and IHC (p).
Immunohistochemistry (10-20 μg/mL). Western blotting (0.5-4 μg/mL): A 55 kDa band can be detected, corresponding to theexpected molecular weight of Aromatase, an additional 35 kDa band (believed to be thecleavage product of Aromatase) can also be detected in Jurkat cells. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
Aromatase is a key enzyme in steroidogenesis and plays an important role in sexual differentiation, oestrogen biosynthesis, fertility and carcinogenesis. It is highly conserved amongst mammals, and is highly expressed in placental tissue. Many environmental chemicals may influence aromatase activity and thereby disrupt endocrine function.Synonyms: ARO1, CYAR, CYP19, CYP19A1, CYPXIX, Cytochrome P450 19A1, Estrogen synthetase, P450AROM
