ANTI-VITAMIN D RECEPTOR ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT

General description

Anti-Vitamin D Receptor Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Vitamin D Receptor protein.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene codes for a nuclear receptor. It is expressed at a high level in the hypothalamus and the large neurons of the substantia nigra in the brain. VDR gene comprises 14 exons and 6 untranslated exons with alternative splicing sites. It is mapped to human chromosome 12q13.1.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Vitamin D Receptor.

Immunogen Range: 181-230

Application

Anti-Vitamin D Receptor antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence staining (1:200) (1:100).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) protein modulates genes associated with inflammation, chronic diseases, oxidative damage, and the metabolism of bone. VDR gene is involved in the susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The nuclear receptor encoded by the VDR gene possesses pluripotent effects. It is capable of specifically binding the elements of DNA response when bound to the ligand. VDR acts as a receptor for 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2 D3). It facilitates the biological activities of vitamin D. Inadequacy of vitamin D is a risk factor for Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
