Gene Information

human ... RARB(5915)

General description

Anti-Retinoic Acid Receptor β Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Retinoic Acid Receptor β protein.
Retinoic Acid Receptor β (RARB) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 3p24.2-p25. The encoded protein belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Retinoic Acid Receptor beta.

Immunogen Range: 331-380

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retinoic Acid Receptor β (RARB) interacts with its ligand retinoic acid (RA) and retinoid and plays a vital role in normal lung development. It is also involved in growth regulation of mammary epithelial cells. RARB acts as a tumor suppressor protein in various types of cancers, including thyroid carcinomas.
Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of anophthalmia and/or microphthalmia and diaphragmatic hernia. RARβ gene inactivation caused by RARβ methylation contributes to the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and acts as a potential biomarker, risk factor and therapeutic target for NSLC.

The transcription factor retinoic acid receptor beta(2) (RARbeta(2)) is a potent inhibitor of breast cancer cells in vitro, and studies suggest that RARbeta expression is lost in primary breast cancer. Although RARbeta(2) is selectively down-regulated at the mRNA level in
