Vitamin D Receptor (VDR, vitamin D (1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3) receptor , HGNC:12679, NR1I1, vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) receptor)

VDR is a member of the super family of steroid hormone receptors. It is known to play a role in cellular growth and differentiation, calcium and phosphorus metabolism and bone remodeling. Human breast carcinomas, leukemias, and prostatic carcinoma cells express VDR, which can modify their growth and differentiation. Human breast carcinomas, leukemias, and prostatic carcinoma cells express VDR which can modify their growth and differentiation.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Gel Supershift Assays, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nImmunohistochemistry (Paraffin and frozen sections): 5ug/ml\nWestern Blot: 1ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. \n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months.

Additional Info

Recognizes the occupied and unoccupied forms of chicken VDR. Recognizes an epitope between aa 89 and 105 of human VDR. In avians detects bands of ~58kD and ~60kD by Western blot, while in mammalian species the VDRs appear as a single band within the ~52-55kD range. Does not cross-react with ER (estrogen receptor) or GR (glucocorticoid receptor). Species Crossreactivity: human, mouse, rat, hamster, amphibian and fish.
