MyBioSource.com's SCGB1D2 Antibody (Center) is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Western Blot. The SCGB1D2 Antibody (Center) was generated using SCGB1D2 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
lipophilin subfamily, part of the uteroglobin superfamily, and is
an ortholog of prostatein, the major secretory glycoprotein of the
rat ventral prostate gland. Lipophilin gene products are widely
expressed in normal tissues, especially in endocrine-responsive
organs. Assuming that human lipophilins are the functional
counterparts of prostatein, they may be transcriptionally regulated
by steroid hormones, with the ability to bind androgens, other
steroids and possibly bind and concentrate estramustine, a
chemotherapeutic agent widely used for prostate cancer. Although
the gene has been reported to be on chromosome 10, this sequence
appears to be from a cluster of genes on chromosome 11 that
includes mammaglobin 2
