Background of PGRMC1

Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is a protein which co-purifies with progesterone binding proteins in the liver and ovary. In humans, the PGRMC1 protein is encoded by the PGRMC1 gene. The Sigma-2 receptor was recently identified as potentially being the same as PGRMC1. The sole biochemical function of PGRMC1 is heme-binding. PGRMC1 shares key structural motifs with cytochrome b5. It binds and activates P450 proteins, which are important in drug, hormone and lipid metabolism. Also, PGRMC1 binds to PAIR-BP1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor RNA-binding protein-1). However, its expression outside of the reproductive tract and in males suggests multiple functions for the protein. These may include binding to Insig (insulin-induced gene), which regulates cholesterol synthesis.

Antibody Validation

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of PGRMC1 using anti-PGRMC1 antibody (PB9775).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: Rat Liver Tissue Lysate at 50ug,
Lane 2: Rat Kidney Tissue Lysate at 50ug,
Lane 3: Mouse Liver Tissue Lysate at 50ug,
Lane 4: Mouse Kidney Tissue Lysate at 50ug,
Lane 5: SMMC Whole Cell Lysate at 40ug.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-PGRMC1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9775) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for PGRMC1 at approximately 26 kDa. The expected band size for PGRMC1 is at 26 kDa.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of PGRMC1 using anti-PGRMC1 antibody (PB9775).
PGRMC1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of mouse kidney tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 μg/ml rabbit anti-PGRMC1 Antibody (PB9775) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.
