Recombinant fragment (around aa 39-108) of human STAR protein (exact sequence is proprietary)
Alternative Synonym:
Cholesterol trafficker, Luteinizing hormone induced protein, Mitochondrial steroid acute regulatory protein, StAR, StAR related lipid transfer (START) domain containing 1, StARD1, START domain-containing protein 1, Steroid acute regulatory protein, Steroidogenic acute regulator (STAR), Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein mitochondrial
Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (STAR) controls the rate-limiting step of steroidegenesis by translocating cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner membrane where it is later cleaved to pregnenolone.It is primarily present in steroid-producing cells, including Leydig cells in the testis, theca cells and luteal cells in the ovary and adrenal cells in the adrenal cortex. Due to low levels of pregnenolone, seminomas and Leydig cell tumors display no specific STAR staining. Therefore, STAR antibody may assist in differentiating sex cord stromal tumors (SCST), seminomas and embryonal carcinomas.
Ab produced in HEK293 cell mammalian-based expression system. Prepared in 10mM PBS with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide. Also available WITHOUT BSA & azide.
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial Rabbit Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody (MSVA-740R) tested on many normal and cancer tissues. The immunohistochemistry staining in these tissues aligns with the expression data in Human Protein Atlas.
