Product Name :
CYP17A1 (N249) polyclonal antibody Background :
CYP17A1, also known as cytochrome P450C17, is a steroidogenic enzyme belonging to the P450 cytochrome superfamily of monooxygenases. In humans, CYP17A1 expression is abundantly expressed in the adrenal cortex, where it plays a central role in the androgen synthesis pathway (2). CYP17A1 is the primary target of abiraterone, a synthetic steroid used in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Abiraterone is converted to the more active form D4A, which antagonizes androgen receptor signaling by inhibiting CYP17A1 and other steroidogenic enzymes. This suppresses the synthesis of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a driver of castration-resistant prostate cancer cell growth. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
