Target description

Vitamin D3 receptor (UniProt: P11473; also known as VDR, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor, Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 1) is encoded by the VDR (also known as NR1I1) gene (Gene ID: 7421) in human. Vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) is a nuclear, ligand-dependent transcription regulator that in complex with hormonally active vitamin D3 regulates the expression of several genes. It is expressed mainly in kidney and intestine and plays a central role in calcium homeostasis. It is mainly localized in the nucleus, but some of it is also found in the cytoplasm. Its nuclear localization is enhanced by vitamin D3. VDR contains three distinct regions, an N-terminal dual zinc finger DNA binding domain, a C-terminal ligand-binding activity domain, and an extensive and unstructured region that links the two functional domains of this protein together. It has two vitamin D3 binding domains (aa 227-237 and 271-278). In the absence of bound vitamin D3 it is present as a homodimer, and it enters the nucleus upon vitamin D3 binding where it forms heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor/RXR. The VDR-RXR heterodimers bind to specific response elements on DNA and activate the transcription of vitamin D3-responsive target genes. Mutations in VDR gene has been linked to a vitamin-D dependent form of Rickets with hypocalcemia and secondary hypoparathyroidism. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
