Folate receptor alpha Antibodies
AND FOLR1 ELISA kits, Folate receptor alpha Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Folate receptor alpha, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Folate receptor alpha in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Folate receptor alpha antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for Folate receptor alpha? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

FOLR1 Overview
Facts about Folate receptor alpha.
Folate receptor alpha (FOLR1)
Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells. Has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH.
Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis activates a conformation change that dramatically reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their discharge. Required for normal embryonic development and normal cell proliferation.

Tissue Specificity
Primarily expressed in tissues of epithelial origin. Expression is increased in malignant tissues. Expressed in kidney, lung and cerebellum. Detected in placenta and thymus epithelium.
Subcellular Localizations
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle. Endosome. Apical cell membrane. Endocytosed into cytoplasmic vesicles and then recycled to the cell membrane.
