Steroidogenic Factor 1 (SF-1, STF-1, Adrenal 4 Binding Protein, AD4BP, ELP, Fushi Tarazu Factor (Drosophila) Homolog 1, FTZ 1, FTZ1, FTZF1, Nuclear Receptor AdBP4, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A Member 1, NR5A1, SF1, SF-1, Steroid Hormone Receptor A

Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), a NR5 Fushi Tarazu-Like Receptor, has been shown to affect sexual differentiation, steroid metabolism, and neural development. SF-1 binds as a monomer and regulates all steroidogenic p450 genes, Mullerian inhibiting substance, the gonadotrophins, the ACTH receptor, oxytocin, nuclear receptor DAX-1, and several other genes. Four alternatively spliced isoforms of SF-1 have been isolated in mice, and they differ at the N and C termini but are identical in the DNA-binding domain. SF-1 expression has been documented in human brain, adrenal, spleen, liver, heart, ovary, testis, and placenta. ESTs have been isolated from human tissue libraries, including cancerous adrenal and normal lung and testis.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (frozen and paraffin-embedded sections). Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
