Product Information
The O4 antibody is a monoclonal antibody that is used in Life Sciences research. It specifically targets and binds to cortisol, a steroid hormone involved in various physiological processes. The O4 antibody can be used to measure cortisol concentration in samples and study its effects on cellular functions.
This antibody has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the activity of enzymes involved in cortisol metabolism, such as 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). By blocking the action of these enzymes, the O4 antibody helps regulate cortisol levels and maintain hormonal balance.
In addition, the O4 antibody has been found to have potential therapeutic applications. It can be used as an active agent to target cells that overexpress certain receptors, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which are associated with various diseases including cancer. The binding of the O4 antibody to these receptors can activate signaling pathways that inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell death.
