SCARB1, also known as scavenger receptor class B member 1 or SR-BI, serves as a critical high-density lipoprotein receptor that mediates selective cholesterol uptake in tissues including the liver and steroidogenic organs. This receptor plays essential roles in reverse cholesterol transport, lipid metabolism, and has been implicated in hepatitis C virus entry, making it a significant target for cardiovascular disease research, metabolic studies, and infectious disease investigations.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 19B9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Generated through recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The rabbit IgG format, produced against a synthetic peptide derived from human SCARB1, has been affinity-purified to ensure optimal specificity for your experiments.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance across multiple applications. In western blot analysis, the antibody detects SCARB1 in MCF-7 and PC-3 whole cell lysates at dilutions between 1:500 and 1:2000. The observed bands at approximately 80-90 kDa, rather than the predicted 61 kDa molecular weight, reflect the extensive glycosylation characteristic of this membrane receptor. Immunohistochemistry validation in human liver cancer and adrenal gland tissues at 1:50-1:200 dilutions confirms suitability for examining SCARB1 expression patterns in paraffin-embedded specimens, with the adrenal tissue results aligning with known high expression in steroidogenic tissues.
Whether investigating cholesterol homeostasis, exploring lipid-related pathologies, or examining receptor-mediated processes in cancer biology, this antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing SCARB1 expression and distribution in human samples.
