Description: Stimulated by retinoic acid 8 is expressed in embryonic ovaries just before meiotic initiation, whereas in testis it is expressed after birth. The STRA8 gene contains 9 exons and is mapped to chromosome 7q31. Retinoic acid(RA) signaling is required for Stra8 expression, and therefore initiation of meiosis, in embryonic mouse ovaries. RA was sufficient to induce Stra8 expression in embryonic testis. Cyp26-mediated RA metabolism was responsible for delaying expression in embryonic testis. Since RA signaling regulated expression in both embryonic ovaries and adult testis, it was said this portion of the meiotic initiation pathway may be identical in both sexes.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Stra8 (DEEMIMLQCTETFDDEDL) was used as the immunogen for this Stra8 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the Stra8 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
