human ... NR5A2(2494)

General description

Nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2 (NR5A2, BIF2, FTZ-F1β) is a transcription factor involved in cholesterol transport, bile acid homeostasis and steroidogenesis. Also known as liver receptor homolog-1, LRH-1 is expressed primarily in liver, intestine, exocrine pancreas, ovary and embryonic stem cells (ESC). LRH-1 regulates the expression of the key bile acid biosynthetic enzyme cholesterol 7α hydroxylase (Cyp7A1).

Specificity

Anti-NR5A2 polyclonal antibody reacts with human and bovine nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2/ liver receptor homolog-1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human NR5A2

Application

Anti-NR5A2 polyclonal antibody is used to tag liver receptor homolog-1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of liver receptor homolog-1 in the regulation of bile acid biosynthesis, cholesterol transport and steroidogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NR5A2 binds to the sequence element 5′-AACGACCGACCTTGAG-3′ of the enhancer II of hepatitis B virus genes, a critical cis-element of their expression and regulation. It may be responsable for the liver-specific activity of enhancer II, probably in combination with other hepatocyte transcription factors. It is a key regulator of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A) expression in liver. It may also contribute to the regulation of pancreas-specific genes and play important roles in embryonic development.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MSSNSDTGDLQESLKHGLTPIVSQFKMVNYSYDEDLEELCPVCGDKVSGY

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
