Anti-phospho-Androgen Receptor (Tyr267)

Anti-Androgen Receptor pY267 was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with human and chimpanzee based on 100% sequence homology. Cross-reactivity with Androgen Receptor pY267 from other sources has not been determined. Androgen Receptor detects human Androgen receptor. The androgen receptor (AR) is an ~110 kDa androgen-dependent transcription factor that is a member of the steroid/nuclear receptor gene superfamily. The AR signaling pathway plays a key role in development and function of male reproductive organs, including the prostate and epididymis. AR also plays a role in nonreproductive organs, such as muscle, hair follicles, and brain. Abnormalities in the AR signaling pathway have been linked to a number of diseases, including prostate cancer, Kennedy's disease and male infertility. The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating AR activity through phosphorylation of AR at Ser213/210 and Ser791/790. Growth factors or cytokines may induce phosphorylation of AR through the PI3K/Akt pathway. Activation of the PI3K/AKt pathway is thought to have a survival role in prostate cancer by protecting cells from apoptosis. Anti-Androgen Receptor Antibody is ideal for investigators involved in neuroscience, cytokines and growth factors, and transcription factors.
