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...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to STAR by testing them on tissues known to express STAR positively and negatively. Browse below to find the STAR antibody that suites your experiment. We have 3 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

STAR Overview

Facts about Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial.

STAR 3D structure. Source: alphafold

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.
