(Alpha-methylacyl-CoA Racemase, CBAS4, Da1-8, Macr1, RACE, RM, p504S)

This antibody recognizes a protein of 54kD, which is identified as AMACR, also known as p504S. It is an enzyme that is involved in bile acid biosynthesis and b-oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. AMACR is expressed in cells of premalignant high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) and prostate adenocarcinoma. The majority of the carcinoma cells show a distinct granular cytoplasmic staining reaction. AMACR is present at low or undetectable levels in glandular epithelial cells of normal prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia. A spotty granular cytoplasmic staining is seen in a few cells of the benign glands.

Applications:  Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 1:100-1:200 for 2 hours at RT Immunohistochemistry: formalin-fixed: 1:50-1:100 for 30-60 minutes at RT (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 1mM EDTA, pH 7.5-8.5, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control
HEK cells or Prostate Adenocarcinoma
