Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human NUR77, different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid, and from the related rat sequence by two amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 67 kDa; calculated MW: 64463 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1; Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1. NR4A1 (NUCLEAR RECEPTOR SUBFAMILY 4, GROUP A, MEMBER 1), also called NAK1, GFRP1, TR3, NUR77 or NGFIB, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR4A1 gene, which is also a member of the Nur nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors. The NR4A1 gene is mapped on 12q13.13. NR4A1 is involved in cell cycle mediation, inflammation and apoptosis. It plays a key role in mediating inflammatory responses in macrophages. In addition, subcellular localization of the NR4A1 protein appears to play a key role in the survival and death of cells. Nr4a1 is overexpressed in Wnt1 -transformed mouse mammary cells. Nr4a1 is also induced by lithium, a Wnt1 mimic, and the Nr4a1 promoter is activated by lithium and beta-catenin, a Wnt1 downstream effector. In contrast, human NR4A1 is not upregulated by beta-catenin, indicating that this gene is regulated differently in human and mouse cells. Adenoviral expression of Nr4a1 induces genes involved in gluconeogenesis, stimulates glucose production both in vitro and in vivo, and raises blood glucose levels. Functional note: Orphan nuclear receptor. May act concomitantly with NURR1 in regulating the expression of delayed-early genes during liver regeneration. Binds the NGFI-B response element (NBRE) 5'- AAAAGGTCA-3' (By similarity). May inhibit NF-kappa-B transactivation of IL2. Participates in energy homeostasis by sequestrating the kinase STK11 in the nucleus, thereby attenuating cytoplasmic AMPK activation. . Reported localization: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Expression/tissue context: Fetal muscle and adult liver, brain and thyroid.
