Description

AKR1C3, or PGF synthase, catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandins H2 and D2 into PGF2 and 9,11-PGF2, respectively. AKR1C3 is known to play a role in estrogen, androgen, progesterone, and prostaglandin metabolism and biosynthesis. Overexpression of the AKR1C3 gene has been found to be a promising biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa) progression. AKR1C3 stimulates the production of androgens and the activation of androgen receptors in PCa as a key androgen synthase. Patients with breast cancer (BRC) who overexpress AKR1C3 have a worse prognosis.

To produce the recombinant AKR1C3 antibody genes were cloned from B cells that were isolated from immunized animals with the A synthesized peptide derived from human AKR1C3 and then were inserted into plasma vectors. Mammalian cells like CHO and HEK 293 cells were transfected with these recombinant vectors allowing for antibody expression. The cell culture supernatant underwent purification via Affinity-chromatography to obtain the recombinant AKR1C3 antibody. This recombinant AKR1C3 antibody can react with the AKR1C3 protein from Human and is recommended for the use in the ELISA, IF, FC.

Target Background

Function
Cytosolic aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADH and NADPH-dependent reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids. Acts as a NAD(P)(H)-dependent 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroid reductase on the steroid nucleus and side chain and regulates the metabolism of androgens, estrogens and progesterone. Displays the ability to catalyze both oxidation and reduction in vitro, but most probably acts as a reductase in vivo since the oxidase activity measured in vitro is inhibited by physiological concentration of NADPH. Acts preferentially as a 17-ketosteroid reductase and has the highest catalytic efficiency of the AKR1C enzyme for the reduction of delta4-androstenedione to form testosterone. Reduces prostaglandin (PG) D2 to 11beta-prostaglandin F2, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and estrone to 17beta-estradiol. Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Displays also retinaldehyde reductase activity toward 9-cis-retinal.
