Estrogen Receptor alpha Antibody

SKU: orb248339

Description

Estrogen receptor (ER) is an important regulator of growth and differentiation in the mammary gland. ER presence in breast tumors indicates an increased likelihood of response to anti-estrogen (e.g. tamoxifen) therapy. Clone ER506 antibody strongly stains nuclei of epithelial cells in breast carcinomas.
