    Product Information

    Product Description

    MW (kDa) 50

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #14528. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.br /br /This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please a href="https://www.cellsignal.com/services/carrier-free-and-customized-formulations/custom-formulations-request" target="_blank" contact us/a. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.br /br /BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Nasub2/subHPOsub4/sub, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KHsub2/subPOsub4/sub, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.br /br /For standard formulation of this product see product #a href="/products/14528" target="_blank"14528/a

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Aromatase (D5Q2Y) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total aromatase protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human aromatase protein.

    Background

    Aromatase is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, which are monooxygenases that catalyze reactions involved in drug metabolism and cholesterol and steroid synthesis (1,2). Aromatase is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into 17-β estradiol (2). Aromatase is mainly expressed in the brain (3), ovaries (4), and placenta (5). Aromatase plays an important role in development of the central nervous system during ontogenesis (6,7), gonadal development, and sex differentiation (8,9). Research studies have suggested that inhibition of aromatase may be an effective therapeutic strategy for postmenopausal breast cancers that are estrogen receptor positive (6,10). Mutations in the corresponding aromatase gene are associated with cases of aromatase excess syndrome (AEXS) and aromatase deficiency (AROD) disorders (11-14).
