synthetic peptide corresponding to the internal domain of human estrogen-related receptor β, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 93% homology with the rat and mouse gene.
Application
Anti-Estrogen-Related Receptor β antibody produced in rabbit was used for immunocytochemistry of neurons from mouse model of glaucoma at a working dilution of 1:500. It was also used for immunohistochemistry of mouse brain sections.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Estrogen-Related Receptors (ERR) are hormone receptors that bind estrogen response elements that in turn bind specific DNA sequences and regulate transcription. Three ERRs are known, alpha, beta and gamma, with highly conserved ligand and DNA binding sequences. ERRβ is selectively expressed in brain and is an important modulator of energy balance, food intake, neuropeptide levels and response to stress.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.1% sodium azide.

Failure of anterograde transport to distal targets in the brain is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. We have demonstrated in rodent models of glaucoma, the most common optic neuropathy, early loss of anterograde transport along the retinal ganglion cell
Univocal identification of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is an essential prerequisite for studying their degeneration and neuroprotection. Before the advent of phenotypic markers, RGCs were normally identified using retrograde tracing of retinorecipient areas. This is an invasive technique, and its
Recently, a new nuclear receptor subfamily has been identified and referred to as estrogen-related receptors. This new group shares sequence similarity, target genes, co-regulatory proteins, and action sites with the estrogen receptors; however, natural estrogens are not estrogen-related receptors ligands.

The mature optic nerve cannot regenerate when injured, leaving victims of traumatic nerve damage or diseases such as glaucoma with irreversible visual losses. Recent studies have identified ways to stimulate retinal ganglion cells to regenerate axons part-way through the optic
Lipid metabolism is a continuum from emulsification and uptake of lipids in the intestine to cellular uptake and transport to compartments such as mitochondria. Whether fats are shuttled into lipid droplets in adipose tissue or oxidized in mitochondria and peroxisomes
