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

STAR Overview
Facts about Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial.
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial (STAR)
Plays a crucial role in steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Mediates the transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is cleaved into pregnenolone.
