Target

  • Function

    Orphan receptor. Interaction with RXR shifts RXR from its role as a silent DNA-binding partner to an active ligand-binding subunit in mediating retinoid responses through target genes defined by LXRES. LXRES are DR4-type response elements characterized by direct repeats of two similar hexanuclotide half-sites spaced by four nucleotides. Plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, regulating cholesterol uptake through MYLIP-dependent ubiquitination of LDLR, VLDLR and LRP8.

  • Tissue specificity

    Visceral organs specific expression. Strong expression was found in liver, kidney and intestine followed by spleen and to a lesser extent the adrenals.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.
    Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

    Nucleus.

Question

I am confused by looking at your product sheet. On the first page under application notes, the recommended dilution for Western Blot is 1/300 then on the next page you give an example of a blot with the antibody and you site the dilution as 1/1000. Which one is the recommended dilution?

Read More
Answer



The lab has tested the antibody at a 1:300 dilution thus it is our recommended dilution, however ab3585 has been used successfully at a 1:1000 dilution by another user who submitted an Abreview with their protocol and data (the image that you have seen). We suggest titrating the antibody to find the optimal dilution for your particular samples and protocol, and starting this titration with a 1:300 dilution.

Question

Bonjour,
je souhaiterais commander un anticorps anti-LXR.


(Ref LXRalpha: ab 41902, ab 3585, ab 106464 et LXR beta : ab76983, ab24361)
Vous en proposez plusieurs, mais les références associées citées sur Pubmed sont très rares, et les commentaires sur votre site sont parfois très négatives (anticorps qui ne marchent pas)..
Serait il possible de recevoir des aliquots /échantillons afin de tester les anticorps que j’achèterai ensuite?
bien cordialement

Question

He trabajado con LXR alpha (ab3585) y LXR beta antibody (ab76983) con resultados excelentes. Ahora que he enviado un paper me piden las referencias del péptido de bloqueo para confirmar la especificidad de los anticuerpos. A pesar de que obtenemos una única banda por WB, es necesario disponer de esta información. ¿Tenéis alguna referencia acerca del bloqueo del anticuerpo con el péptido tanto para LXR alpha (ab3585) como para LXR beta antibody (ab76983)?
Muchas gracias.

Answer

Muchas gracias por contactarnos de nuevo.
Efectivamente el péptido usado para producir ab3585 es ab5021, y por tanto puede usarse en los ensayos de bloqueo del mismo. Sin embargo no hay ninguna publicación disponible acerca de este ensayo de bloqueo. El péptido para bloquear el anticuerpo contra LXR beta no está disponible tampoco, tampoco publicaciones al respecto.
Lamento mucho no poder ayudar más. En cualquier caso estaré encanada de poder seguir ayudando.

Question

I've been working with LXR alpha (ab3585) and LXR beta antibody (ab76983)with excellent results. Now, I submitted a paper and the referees asked me about the peptideto confirm the specificity of the antibodies...We have seen only one band at the expected size, but anyway, I was wondering if anyone has done already the resorption with the peptide? In other words, are there any references forLXR alpha peptide (ab5021)? and for LXR betapetide?

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.

All of the information we have for each of our products is listed on the online datasheet for your convenience. These are updated as soon as any new information is brought to our attention. Therefore, unfortunately, if we do not have any references on our datasheet, we do not know about any. In addition, the epitope for the ab76983 Anti-LXR beta antibodyhas not been mapped.


I hope this information is still helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. I am sorry you are experiencing problems with this antibody. Often it is possible to make suggestions to improve your results. If we determine that the antibody is not working as stated on the datasheet, and you have purchased it in the last 90 days, we would be happy to replace or refund the antibody for you. In order for me to help you further, can you please confirm the followings: 1) how was the sample prepared? was SDS and beta-mercaptoethenol used? did you boiled it and for how long? what lysis buffer did you used? did you add protease inhibitor? 2) can you confirm that you used 28micro grams of protein per lane? 3) what secondary antibody did you used, as there was no information in the questionnaire? was it a anti-rabbit antibody? 4) how long did you incubate the primary and secondary antibodies? what was the dilution and temperature? We recommend incubating the primary overnight, at 4oC. 5) did you perform blocking procedures? what was the duration, blocking buffer, and concentration used?We recommend using 5% BSA in TBST for 1 hr. Can you also please submit an image of the blot showing the non-specific bands? I am looking forward to receiving the answers to the above questions and also an image of the non-specific bands so that we can resolve the matter. Have a nice day.

Question

Thanks very much for your so effeicent reply, besides we have some other questions about the products. First, can the antibodies for LXR alpha and LXR beta respectively(ab3585 - Rabbit polyclonal to LXR alpha ab24361 - Goat polyclonal to LXR beta) be applied to hamster or mouse? This information is very important for our research! Second, can the antibodies mentioned above be used in immunohisto chemistry ? Finally, we care about their price. Thank you very much and we are looking forward for your reply!

Answer

Thank you for your email. For both of these antibodies, ab3585 and ab24361, they have only so been tested for cross-reactivity with human and have not yet been tested in other species. Ab24361 is predicted to react with Mouse (85% identity with immunogen) and Rat (92% identity with immunogen) due to sequence homology. Also, neither of these two antibodies have been tested yet for application in IHC. If you decide to go ahead and purchase one of these products, please let us know how you get on by submitting an Abreview and in return we will award you 50 Abcam Points, which can be redeemed on a number of rewards (a further 100 Abcam Points will be offered for an image). I'm not sure where you are located, but both of these antibodies are $299.00. To view the price for an antibody, just select your country from the drop-down menu at the top of the online datasheet. If you have any additional questions, please contact us again.
