Overview
StAR Antibody / Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein is an antibody targeting StAR. Host: Mouse. Monoclonal. Clone: STAR/3976. Format: Purified. Applications: IHC-P.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: StAR.
- Immunogen: A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 39-108) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for….
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Localization: Cytoplasm (Mitochondria).
- Conjugate: Unconjugated (no label listed).
Biological background (from provided description)
Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) controls the rate-limiting step of steroidegenesis by translocating cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner membrane where it is later cleaved to pregnenolone. It is primarily present in steroid-producing cells, including Leydig cells in the testis, theca cells and luteal cells in the ovary and adrenal cells in the adrenal cortex.
Common research applications
- IHC: tissue distribution assessment; interpret with matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, paralogs, and post-translational modifications when interpreting signal.
- Support specificity with biological controls (e.g., KO/KD where available) and technical controls (e.g., secondary-only/isotype).
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
