The folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) gene encodes for folate receptor α protein, a membrane-bound glycoprotein. The FOLR1 gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 11q13.4. Anti-FOLR1 antibody detects endogenous levels of total FOLR1 protein.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human FOLR1.
Immunogen Range: 41-90
Biochem/physiol Actions
Folate receptor α protein binds and facilitates the transport of folate into the cells. This protein acts as a therapeutic target as well as a prognostic marker for various kinds of cancers. Upregulation of the FOLR1 gene is associated with ovarian, lung, breast, brain, colorectal, and gastric cancers.

Meningomyelocele (MM) results from lack of closure of the neural tube during embryologic development. Periconceptional folic acid supplementation is a modifier of MM risk in humans, leading toan interest in the folate transport genes as potential candidates for association to
The objective of this study was to analyze the diagnostic and clinical role of the folate receptor-alpha (FOLR1) and folate receptor-gamma (FOLR3) genes in effusion cytology. Expression of the FOLR1 protein product, FR-alpha, was additionally studied. Ninety-one effusions (71 ovarian
Gastric cancer is a malignancy that has a high mortality rate. Although progress has been made in the treatment of gastric cancer, many patients experience cancer recurrence and metastasis. Folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) is overexpressed on the cell surface in
