Immunogen

This ER-alpha antibody was raised against a peptide within the C-terminal region of human Estrogen Receptor alpha.

Buffer

Purified IgG in 70 mM Tris (pH 8), 105 mM NaCl, 31 mM glycine, 0.07 mM EDTA, 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

 
Estrogen Receptor-α antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP.

Estrogen Receptor-α antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 30 µg of MCF7 cell chromatin (treated with 10nM estradiol for 1 hour) and 10 µg of Estrogen Receptor-α antibody. ChIP DNA was used in qPCR with the negative control primer pairs or gene-specific primer pairs as indicated. Data are presented as Binding Events Detected per 1000 Cells using Active Motif's Epigenetic Services normalization scheme which accounts for primer efficiency and the amount of chromatin used in the ChIP reaction.

Background

ER-α (estrogen receptor α) is a ligand-activated transcription factor composed of several domains important for hormone binding, DNA binding and activation of transcription. ER-α localizes to the nucleus where it may form a homodimer or a heterodimer with estrogen receptor 2. Estrogen and its receptors are essential for sexual development and reproductive function, but also play a role in other tissues such as bone. Estrogen receptors are also involved in pathological processes including breast cancer, endometrial cancer and osteoporosis.

Chromatin IP Assays

This antibody has been validated for use in ChIP and/or ChIP-Seq, and can be used with Active Motif's ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit or our magnetic bead-based ChIP-IT® Express Kits.
