Extra Details:: Farnesoid X-activated receptor (FXR, HRR-1, BAR, RIP14; NR1H4) is a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family. FXR is expressed in the liver, intestinal villi, renal tubes and adrenal cortex. FXR is a global regulator of bile acid metabolism. Two genes, cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and IBABP (ileal bile acid binding protein), which are implicated in bile acid biosynthesis and recycling, respectively, are target genes of FXR. FXR is shown to be transcriptionally activated by farnesol metabolites such as farnesol itself and juvenile hormone III. FXR binds to DNA only as a heterodimer with RXR. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:32,000 Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml, observed in human duodenum and lung lysates on ~55kD bands Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
