Synthetic peptide CRLQDKKLPPLLSEI, representing the C-Terminus of the human protein according to NP_005684; NP_009052.
Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cow
Applications:
Uses:
This antibody is useful for Peptide ELISA and Western Blot. Approx 55kDa band observed in human spleen lysates (calculated MW of 50.5kDa according to NP_005684 and 50.1kDa according to NP_009052). Additional minor bands were also consistently observed at 38kDa and 75kDa. These bands were successfully blocked by incubation with the immunising peptide.

Liver X Receptors (LXRs) are oxysterol activated nuclear receptors which are involved in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and bile acids. Two known isoforms, alpha and beta, are differentially expressed. The alpha isoform is predominantly expressed in liver, whereas the beta isoform expression has been shown to be ubiquitous.
