The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-Androgen Receptor antibody (ABIN362098) specifically detects Androgen Receptor in IHC. The antibody is reactive with Human samples.

Quick Overview for Androgen Receptor antibody (pSer650) (ABIN362098)

Target: Androgen Receptor (AR)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Androgen Receptor antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Product Details anti-Androgen Receptor Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer650

Specificity: The antibody detects endogenous level of Androgen Receptor only when phosphorylated at serine 650.

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer650 (T-T-S (p) -P-T) derived from Human Androgen Receptor. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for Androgen Receptor

Target: Androgen Receptor (AR)

Alternative Name: Androgen Receptor

Background: The androgen receptor gene is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain, and androgen-binding domain. The protein functions as a steroid-hormone activated transcription factor. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. This gene contains 2 polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine and polyglycine tracts in the N-terminal transactivation domain of its protein. Expansion of the polyglutamine tract causes spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy disease). Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS). Two alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
