Immunohistochemistry - Anti-Androgen Receptor antibody [ER179(2)] - ChIP Grade (AB108341)
Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human testis labelling androgen receptor with ab108341 at a concentration of 0.19 µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH 8.5 for 32 mins.
ab108341 Anti-androgen receptor antibody [ER179(2)] was incubated for 16 mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.
Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual)

Biological function summary
AR interacts with androgen hormones to regulate gene expression. It forms a complex with coactivators and corepressors to modulate transcription of target genes involved in male sexual development and reproductive function. AR plays an important role in the development and maintenance of male characteristics and reproductive activity. Its expression impacts cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and apoptosis.
Pathways
AR is intricately involved in the androgen signaling pathway which affects the regulation of genes related to male sexual characteristics. It also plays a part in the PI3K/Akt pathway influencing cell growth and survival. The AR pathway interacts with proteins such as estrogen receptors to mediate cross-talk between hormonal pathways highlighting its broad biological impacts.
