Quick Overview for LDLR antibody (ABIN112187)

Target: LDLR (Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR))

Reactivity: Human, Cow

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This LDLR antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Clone: C7

Product Details anti-LDLR Antibody

Specificity: Suitable for analysis of LDL Receptor function in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. The antibody recognizes an epitope in the region of repeat #1 of the ligand binding region. Addition of 15 nM antibody results in inhibition of half-maximal LDL-binding (cf. Beisiegel et al. 1981). In Human normal fibroblasts the antibody detects the 160 kDa polypeptide (pI 4.3) and also in bovine adrenal gland (160 kDa, pI 4.6) of LDL receptors (Beisiegel et al. 1982).

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Species reactivity (tested):Human and Bovine.

Target Details for LDLR

Target: LDLR (Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR))

Alternative Name: LDLR

Background: The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is normally bound at the cell membrane and taken into the cell ending up in lysosomes where the protein is degraded and the cholesterol is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia.Synonyms: LDL receptor, LDLR, Low-density lipoprotein receptor
