18,000+ products cover the ten top research categories, including cancer, metabolism, cardiovascular, neuroscience, and stem cells. Each antibody is crafted with care according to rigorous protocols for immunogen design and preparation, presentation to host animal, and high-affinity purification against the antigen. Quality is embedded in the production process to assure the best antibody for you.
Crown antibodies pass additional stringent quality requirements, including extended control sets, uniform results against multiple biologically relevant cell lines and tissues, and function in multiple applications.
Abgent develops 1000+ new products per year. We provide tools for path-breaking research by developing antibodies that detect a comprehensive library of novel and established targets. For established targets we seek to add antibodies that recognize new epitopes, including post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and methylation. For new targets we consult with leading experts to accelerate development of antibodies that will propel state-of-the-art research in cellular health and disease.
Individual peptides for SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. In order to study the specificity of cellular immune responses against SARS CoV-2 and potential immunity caused by other human Corona Viruses, Abcepta provides Spike peptide individually, as pools and in plate. These peptides can be used for antigen specific T-cell stimulation in T-cell assays or T-cell expansion.
All peptides are manufactured in the San Diego, California. Custom peptide services include long peptides (>100 aa), cyclic peptides, difficult sequences, fluorescent labels, phospho-peptides and other post-translational modifications.
The majority of Abcepta antibodies are produced using peptide immunogens. These immuno-specific peptides can be used as blocking agents when using the complementary antibodies in a range of applications.
Abcepta's portfolio of cell lines, tissues and lysates are drawn from a range of species and immortalized cell lines. All our cell lines and lysates are validated in key applications.
These tissue lysates can be used in applications such as SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Whole cell lysates can be used as positive controls for applications such as ELISAs, immunoprecipitation (IP) and Western blotting.
Obtaining high-quality whole cell lysates can be tedious as well as time consuming. Abcepta offers a comprehensive portfolio of whole cell lysates for research use.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

Function
Receptor for retinoic acid (PubMed:16417524, PubMed:19850744, PubMed:20215566, PubMed:21152046, PubMed:37478846). 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 (PubMed:21152046, PubMed:28167758, PubMed:37478846). The RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5 (PubMed:19398580, PubMed:28167758). In the absence of ligand, the RXR- RAR heterodimers associate with a multiprotein complex containing transcription corepressors that induce histone deacetylation, chromatin condensation and transcriptional suppression (PubMed:16417524). On ligand binding, the corepressors dissociate from the receptors and associate with the coactivators leading to transcriptional activation (PubMed:19850744, PubMed:20215566, PubMed:37478846, PubMed:9267036). Formation of a complex with histone deacetylases might lead to inhibition of RARE DNA element binding and to transcriptional repression (PubMed:28167758). Transcriptional activation and RARE DNA element binding might be supported by the transcription factor KLF2 (PubMed:28167758). RARA plays an essential role in the regulation of retinoic acid-induced germ cell development during spermatogenesis (By similarity). Has a role in the survival of early spermatocytes at the beginning prophase of meiosis (By similarity). In Sertoli cells, may promote the survival and development of early meiotic prophase spermatocytes (By similarity). In concert with RARG, required for skeletal growth, matrix homeostasis and growth plate function (By similarity). Together with RXRA, positively regulates microRNA-10a expression, thereby inhibiting the GATA6/VCAM1 signaling response to pulsatile shear stress in vascular endothelial cells (PubMed:28167758). In association with HDAC3, HDAC5 and HDAC7 corepressors, plays a role in the repression of microRNA-10a and thereby promotes the inflammatory response (PubMed:28167758).
Cellular Location
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Nuclear localization depends on ligand binding, phosphorylation and sumoylation (PubMed:19850744) Translocation to the nucleus in the absence of ligand is dependent on activation of PKC and the downstream MAPK phosphorylation (By similarity). Increased nuclear localization upon pulsatile shear stress (PubMed:28167758). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11416, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19850744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28167758}

Application Protocols
Provided below are standard protocols that you may find useful for product applications.
This gene represents a nuclear retinoic acid receptor. The encoded protein, retinoic acid receptor alpha, regulates transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. This gene has been implicated in regulation of development, differentiation, apoptosis, granulopoeisis, and transcription of clock genes. Translocations between this locus and several other loci have been associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this locus.
