BCAR4 antibody detects Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance protein 4, a long non-coding RNA-associated regulatory protein implicated in tumor progression and transcriptional signaling. The UniProt recommended name is Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance protein 4 (BCAR4). Although originally identified for its role in tamoxifen resistance, BCAR4 has since been recognized as a multifunctional regulator that coordinates growth factor and developmental signaling pathways in both normal and cancerous tissues.
Functionally, BCAR4 antibody identifies a small regulatory protein and lncRNA complex component that modulates noncanonical Hedgehog signaling. BCAR4 interacts with transcriptional coactivators GLI2 and SMO, promoting activation of target genes linked to proliferation, migration, and survival. Its expression in breast, lung, and cervical carcinomas correlates with tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential, where it facilitates estrogen-independent growth and resistance to anti-estrogen therapies.
The BCAR4 gene is located on chromosome 16p13.13 and encodes a non-coding transcript that exerts protein-like regulatory effects through RNA-protein interactions. Functionally, BCAR4 acts as a scaffold linking SNIP1 and PNUTS to p300 histone acetyltransferase, thereby enhancing transcriptional activation of downstream effectors involved in cytoskeletal dynamics and metabolic adaptation. In breast cancer, BCAR4-driven signaling enhances glucose metabolism and EMT, supporting invasive phenotypes.
Beyond oncology, BCAR4 is expressed in developmental tissues, including the embryonic brain and reproductive organs, suggesting functions in morphogenesis and differentiation. Experimental silencing of BCAR4 inhibits cell proliferation and migration, underscoring its essential role in oncogenic signaling cascades. Because of its RNA-protein hybrid function, BCAR4 exemplifies a growing class of noncoding RNAs with direct regulatory influence over gene expression.
BCAR4 antibody is widely used in cancer biology, gene regulation, and lncRNA research. It is suitable for immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blotting to detect BCAR4 protein expression and localization. This antibody supports investigations into transcriptional signaling, drug resistance mechanisms, and cellular differentiation. In translational research, BCAR4 detection assists in studying hormone therapy resistance and metastasis formation.
Structurally, BCAR4 contains regulatory motifs facilitating interaction with transcriptional cofactors and signaling kinases. Its activity is regulated by chromatin context and nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling. NSJ Bioreagents provides BCAR4 antibody reagents validated for use in cancer signaling, transcriptional control, and noncoding RNA research.
Optimal dilution of the BCAR4 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthesized peptide derived from human BCAR4. was used as the immunogen for the BCAR4 antibody.
After reconstitution, the BCAR4 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
