Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-RXRG antibody (AB53162)

ab53162 staining RXRG in human nucleus accumbens.
Left panel : with primary antibody at a dilution of 4μg/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus), at room temperature : sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers EDTA pH9.0 in a Dako PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Supplementary information

RXRG also known as retinoid X receptor gamma is a nuclear receptor protein weighing approximately 55 kDa. It binds retinoic acids and mediates their effects in the cell. RXRG can form homodimers or heterodimers with other nuclear receptors. The protein's expression occurs mainly in the brain muscles and the spleen. As a transcription factor it regulates gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences influencing various cellular processes.
Biological function summary

RXRG acts as a transcriptional regulator in the retinoid signaling pathway. It forms part of a heterodimer complex with receptors such as PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) and RXR α and β subunits. These complexes control genes involved in cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. Through RXRG cells can transduce external retinoid signals into specific gene expression responses impacting development and metabolic processes.

Pathways

RXRG integrates into significant signaling cascades including the retinoic acid signaling pathway and the adipogenesis pathway. It often partners with other nuclear receptors like RARs (retinoic acid receptors) and PPARs to mediate these pathways. For instance in the adipogenesis pathway RXRG's interaction with PPARγ regulates adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. These pathways link to extensive roles in development and metabolic regulation.

RXRG plays a role in conditions such as obesity and certain types of cancer. In obesity the interaction between RXRG and PPARγ influences fat cell formation and energy balance. Additionally dysregulation of RXRG expression associates with cancers where it interacts with proteins like RXRα to alter cell proliferation and apoptosis. Understanding these associations highlights RXRG's importance in therapeutic research and potential drug targets.

Target data

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 RAR/RXR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. The high affinity ligand for RXRs is 9-cis retinoic acid (By similarity).
