Anti-Thyroid hormone receptor alpha THRA Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Thyroid hormone receptor alpha is a nuclear hormone receptor with high affinity for the hormone triiodo-thyronine. THRA is one of the several receptors for thyroid hormone, and has been shown to mediate the biological activities of thyroid hormone. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the different receptors, while having a certain extent of redundancy, may mediate different functions of thyroid hormone. THRA interacts with NCOA3 and NCOA6 co-activators, leading to a strong increase in transcription of target genes. THRA is localized within the nucleus and has been found to exist as 4 isoforms originating from alternative splicing variants. This antibody recognizes THRA isoform 1. Isoform 1 has a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 2.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the amino terminus of human THRA isoform 1 protein.

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human THRA protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with THRA from mouse, human and rat based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with THRA from other sources has not been determined.
