Preparation and Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
- This antibody has been developed and certified for the bioimaging application. However, a routine bioimaging test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.

Steroid hormone receptors are hormone activated transcriptional regulators that influence genes required for embryonic development and adult homeostasis. One member of the steroid hormone family is the glucocorticoid receptor. It contains AF1 and AF2 transactivation domains, a DNA binding domain, and ligand binding domain. Ligand bound glucocorticoid receptors dimerize at specific palindromic sequences called glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) in the cis-regulatory region of target genes. Both AF1 and AF2 may be important for initiation or regulation of transcription by interacting with components of the initiation complex or other intermediary factors. In addition to transactivation, glucocorticoid receptors may also regulate transcription through transrepression of target genes. Although mechanisms of transrepression are not completely understood; DNA binding alone, DNA binding plus interaction with other transcription factors, or protein-protein interaction without DNA binding are mechanisms that have been implicated. Thus, glucocorticoid receptors function in the regulation of specific genes that are essential for human development and homeostasis.
