HMGCR Antibody (Center) [APR32298G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This HMGCR antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 380~410 amino acids from the Center region of human HMGCR.

Cellular Localisation: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00347}. Peroxisome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00347}

Molecular Weight: 97476

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: HMGCR (HGNC:5006)

Gene ID: 3156

Function: Catalyzes the conversion of (3S) -hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) to mevalonic acid, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids, thus plays a critical role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:2991281, PubMed:21357570, PubMed:6995544) . HMGCR is the main target of statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs (PubMed:11349148, PubMed:18540668) .

Summary: Tissue Location: [Isoform 1]: Ubiquitously expressed with the highest levels in the cerebellum, fetal brain, testis, skin and adrenal gland. [Isoform 3]: Low abundance except in skin, esophagus, and uterine cervix.

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Application: WB, IHC-P

Dilution: WB--1:1000 IHC-P--1:100~500

Synonyms: 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, HMG-CoA reductase, HMGCR
