Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence or presence of hormone ligand, acts mainly as an activator of gene expression due to weak binding to corepressors (PubMed:12554770). The RXRA/RARB heterodimer can act as a repressor on the DR1 element and as an activator on the DR5 element (PubMed:29021580). In concert with RARG, required for skeletal growth, matrix homeostasis and growth plate function (By similarity).

Retinoic Acid Receptor beta (RARβ) also known as NR1B2 is a nuclear receptor with a molecular mass of approximately 51 kDa. This receptor functions mechanically by binding retinoic acid which induces conformational changes that allow it to regulate gene transcription. RARβ is expressed in various tissues including the central nervous system lungs and kidneys. Its role as a transcription factor influences gene expression patterns by interacting with specific retinoic acid response elements (RARE) in the DNA.
Retinoic Acid Receptor beta plays a significant role in cell differentiation and development. It often forms heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) to execute its functions. This interaction enhances the receptor's ability to modulate gene expression. The complex orchestrates a broad range of developmental processes particularly in embryogenesis and organogenesis. RARβ influences several cellular activities including the regulation of apoptosis and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.
The activity of Retinoic Acid Receptor beta integrates predominantly into the retinoic acid signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. Through these pathways RARβ contributes to the regulation of cell fate and the inhibition of cell proliferation. It functions alongside proteins such as RXRs in the retinoic acid pathway and may interact with components of the Wnt pathway like β-catenin to control gene transcription and cellular responses. These interactions guide various developmental and physiological processes.
Retinoic Acid Receptor beta has connections to cancer and retinal diseases. Changes in RARβ expression and function associate with several types of cancer including lung and breast cancer often involving dysregulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation. In retinal diseases RARβ in conjunction with the protein CRABP (cellular retinoic acid-binding protein) affects the homeostasis and survival of retinal cells. Understanding RARβ's role in these diseases helps in developing targeted therapies aimed at modulating its activity.

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
