Product Type: Chemical
Enhanced Validation-By Recombinant Expression Antibody recognition: Anti-LXRα (N-terminal) antibody produced in Rabbit (Cat. No. L5044) is confirmed by western blot in the cell sample that has been altered to overexpress the target protein-HEK-293T over expressing LXRα (Lane 1) while no staining is detected in the wild type sample-HEK-293T (Lane 2). The antibody was developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, Peroxidase conjugate (Cat. No. A0545) and a chemiluminescent substrate. Antibody dilution: 1.5 μg/mL.
Immunoblotting Cell lysates of HEK-293T overexpressing human LXRα (Lanes 1,3) and HEK-293-T non-transfected (Lane 2) were separated on SDS-PAGE, blotted with Anti-LXRα (N-terminal) (Cat. No. L5044) and developed using Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-Peroxidase (Cat. No. A0545) and chemiluminescent substrate. Lanes 1. Antibody 1.5 μg/mL 2. Antibody 1.5 μg/mL 3. Antibody 1.5 μg/mL+ LXRα immunizing peptide (human, 18-35)

| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Liver X receptors (LXRs) heterodimerize with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and bind to the LXR response element (LXRE). LXRs regulate cholesterol homeostasis by modulating the transcription of genes involved in its catabolism, storage, absorption and transport. Activated LXRs are also potent inhibitors of inflammatory responses in macrophages and reduce inflammation in vivo. LXR expression and activation with LXRs ligands have also been shown to modulate atherosclerotic lesions. LXRα/β-deficient mice show enhanced lipid-loaded foam cell accumulation. LXRs have been suggested to play an important role in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) pathogenesis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The gene LXR α (liver X receptor α) encodes a protein that plays an important role in the control of cholesterol homeostasis. LXRs have been found to regulate inflammatory response in macrophages. They are also involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. |

| General description: | The gene LXR α (liver X receptor α) is a member of LXRs that belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is expressed predominantly in macrophages, liver, intestine, kidney, lung and adipose tissue. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 11p11.2. The protein contains a DNA-binding domain that requires the ligand-binding domain to heterodimerize with a retinoid X receptor partner for its DNA-binding activity. |
| General description: | The liver X receptors (LXRs) are encoded by two different genes, LXRα (NR1H3) and LXRβ (NR1H2). LXRα expression is restricted to macrophages and tissues involved in lipid metabolism. |
