Retinoids are metabolites of vitamin A (retinol) that are important signaling molecules during vertebrate development and tissue differentiation. Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are nuclear transcription factors that modulate the effects of retinoids (RA) on gene expression. Most retinoid forms (including all trans RA, 9-cis RA, 4oxo RA and 3,4 dihydro RA) activate RAR family members, whereas RXR family members are activated by 9-cis-RA only. RA binds RARs, inducing a change in receptor configuration that allows DNA binding and increased gene transcription from specific genes to occur. RAR family members, which include RARalpha, RARbeta and RARgamma, belong to the same class of nuclear transcription factors as thyroid hormone receptors, vitamin D3 receptor and ecdysone receptor. Retinoid receptor expression is tissue specific, the skin expresses RARgamma and RXRalpha.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
