This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Thyroid hormone receptor alpha is a nuclear hormone receptor with high affinity for the hormone triiodo-thyronine. THRA is one of the several receptors for thyroid hormone, and has been shown to mediate the biological activities of thyroid hormone. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the different receptors, while having a certain extent of redundancy, may mediate different functions of thyroid hormone. THRA interacts with NCOA3 and NCOA6 co-activators, leading to a strong increase in transcription of target genes. THRA is localized within the nucleus and has been found to exist as 4 isoforms originating from alternative splicing variants. Isoform 1 has a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 2.
This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the amino terminus of human THRA isoform 1 protein.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
