Aromatase (CYP19A1) Antibody, Abbexa, abx001773

CYP19A1 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody against CYP19A1. CYP19A1(Cytochrome P450 19A1) is also named as ARO1(aromatase), CYAR, CYP19, estrogen synthase and belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. It is a terminal enzyme which transforms irreversibly androgens into estrogens and it is present in the endoplasmic reticulum of numerous tissues(PMID:16406261). The gene encodes a protein with the molecular weight between 46 kDa and 69 kDa(PMID:8129748) and the protein can be glycosylated, but the level of glycosylation does not seem to be essential for CYP19A1 activity(PMID:12606587). Brain aromatase may be neuroprotective by increasing the local estrogen levels in injured neurons so that genetic variation in the brain aromatase gene may modify the risk for AD(PMID:16767510). This antibody is specific to CYP19A1.
