Product Overview
Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Involved in chromatin remodeling (PubMed:10678832). Plays a role in rapid mRNA degradation by binding to the 5' UTR of target mRNAs and interacting with PNRC2 in a ligand-dependent manner which recruits the RNA helicase UPF1 and the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP1A, leading to RNA decay . Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth (PubMed:15037546).

The recommended starting dilution for Western Blot is WB 1:500-1:1000;IF 1:50-1:100. Optimal dilution should be determined empirically for each laboratory setup, sample type, and detection system. Use freshly prepared lysates with protease inhibitors; add phosphatase inhibitors if studying phosphorylation-dependent forms of Glucocorticoid Receptor. Expected band size: Calculated 86kDa, Observed 94/91kDa. If background is high, increase blocking (5% non-fat milk or BSA in TBST) and/or increase wash stringency.
For intracellular targets including most nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins, fix cells with 4% paraformaldehyde (15 min, room temperature) followed by permeabilization with 0.1–0.2% Triton X-100 or saponin (5–10 min). For surface membrane targets, fixation without permeabilization may be sufficient. Block with 5–10% normal serum (matching the secondary antibody host species) for 30–60 min. Incubate primary antibody at the recommended dilution (WB 1:500-1:1000;IF 1:50-1:100) at 4°C overnight or 1–2 h at room temperature. Confirm nuclear/cytoplasmic localization of Glucocorticoid Receptor against published protein databases before designing your protocol.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Recombinant protein of mouse Glucocorticoid Receptor" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: 50mM Tris-Glycine(pH 7.4), 0.15M NaCl, 40% Glycerol, 0.01% Sodium azide and 0.05% protective protein. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
This monoclonal antibody (clone R04-8C8) provides highly consistent, epitope-specific recognition of Glucocorticoid Receptor, making it ideal for quantitative assays, multiplex panels, and studies requiring strict reproducibility across experiments and independent laboratories. Unlike polyclonal preparations, each production batch from a single hybridoma clone generates antibody with identical epitope specificity, affinity, and isotype — ensuring reliable signal comparison in longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. When citing this antibody in publications, include the clone designation (clone R04-8C8) to enable third-party reproducibility verification.
