Disclaimer: Due to the highly specific nature of antibodies and antigens, we cannot predict or be held responsible with respect to how this antibody will behave in your systems. Researchers using this antibody should conduct optimization studies to achieve the most optimal result possible for their intended application. Recommended Immunohistochemistry Protocol: The following protocol is a recommendation only, and MyBioSource, Inc. makes no guarantee of the results:. Tissue Preparation: . Formalin fixation and embedding in paraffin wax. Tissue Sectioning: . Make 4-um sections and place on pre-cleaned and charged microscope slides. Heat in a tissue-dryingoven for 45 minutes at 60°C. Deparaffinization: . Wash dry slides in 3 changes of xylene - 5 minutes each @ RT. Rehydration: . Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT. Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT. Wash slides in 1 change of 80% alcohol - 3 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in gentle running distilled water - 5 minutes @ RT. Antigen retrieval: . Steam slides in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0 at 99-100°C - 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature in buffer - 20 minutes. Rinse in 1X TBS with Tween (TBST) -1 minute @ RT. Immunostaining: . (Do not allow tissues to dry at any time during the staining procedure) . Apply a universal protein block - 20 minutes @ RT. Drain protein block from slides, apply diluted primary antibody - 45 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1 X TBST - 1 minute @ RT. Apply a biotinylated secondary antibody appropriate for the primary antibody - 30 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT. Apply alkaline phosphatase streptavidin - 30 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT. Apply alkaline phosphatase chromogen substrate - 30 minutes @ RT. Wash slides in distilled water - 1 minute @ RT. Dehydrate: . (This method should only be used if the chromogen substrate is alcohol insoluble (e.g. Vector Red, DAB) . Wash slides in 2 changes of 80% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT.

ncbi summary :
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.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
uniprot summary :
RARA: is a receptor for retinoic acid, a potent mammalian morphogen and teratogen that has profound effects on vertebrate development. RARA is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Controls cell function by directly regulating gene expression. Its phosphorylation is crucial for transcriptional activity. Aberrations involving RARA may be a cause of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Two splice-variant isoforms have been described. Protein type: DNA-binding; Nuclear receptor; Transcription factor; Oncoprotein. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; cell surface; cell soma; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; nuclear chromatin; cytoplasm; dendrite; nucleus; actin cytoskeleton.
