Anti-LRH-1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. NR5A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2) also known as liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR5A2 gene. This protein is a member of the nuclear receptor family of intracellulartranscription factors. It plays a critical role in the regulation of development, cholesterol transport, bile acid homeostasis andsteroidogenesis. LRH-1 is important for maintaining pluripotence of stem cells during embryonic development. Liver receptor homolog-1 has been shown to interact with the small heterodimer partner. Protein function: Nuclear receptor that acts as a key metabolic sensor by regulating the expression of genes involved in bile acid synthesis, cholesterol homeostasis and triglyceride synthesis. Together with the oxysterol receptors NR1H3/LXR-alpha and NR1H2/LXR-beta, acts as an essential transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism. Plays an anti- inflammatory role during the hepatic acute phase response by acting as a corepressor: inhibits the hepatic acute phase response by preventing dissociation of the N-Cor corepressor complex (PubMed:20159957). Binds to the sequence element 5'-AACGACCGACCTTGAG-3' of the enhancer II of hepatitis B virus genes, a critical cis-element of their expression and regulation. May be responsible for the liver-specific activity of enhancer II, probably in combination with other hepatocyte transcription factors. Key regulator of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A) expression in liver. May also contribute to the regulation of pancreas-specific genes and play important roles in embryonic development. Activates the transcription of CYP2C38. [The UniProt Consortium]
