Product Specific Information

PEP-221 is a 18 amino acid synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 755-771 of human GR alpha. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C (755) E I I T N Q I P K Y S N G N I K K (771).

This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product, catalog # PA1-516. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.

Target Information

Glucocorticoid Receptor (NR3C1) is a receptor for glucocorticoids that can act as both a transcription factor and as a regulator of other transcription factors. Glucocorticoid Receptor can also be found in heteromeric cytoplasmic complexes along with heat shock factors and immunophilins. The protein is typically found in the cytoplasm until it binds a ligand, which induces transport into the nucleus. Glucocorticoid Receptor is expressed in the heart, detected in left and right atria, left and right ventricles, aorta, apex, intraventricular septum, and atrioventricular node as well as whole adult and fetal heart. Alternate splicing, the use of at least three different promoters, and alternate translation initiation sites result in several transcript variants encoding the same protein or different isoforms, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. Mutations in the Glucocorticoid Receptor gene are a cause of glucocorticoid resistance, or cortisol, resistance. Studies have shown that glucocorticoid receptor (GR) must be associated with a complex of chaperone proteins for ligand activation. GR binds to known steroids such as dexamethasone with nanomolar affinity
