Anti-GW182 [4B6]

Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

• Name: Anti-GW182 [4B6]
• Alternate name: Rinucleotide repeat containing 6A, GW1; GW182; TNRC6; CAGH26
• Class: Monoclonal
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Molecular weight: 182
• Reactivity: Human ; Rabbit
• Host: Mouse
• Application: IF ; WB
• Description: RNA-mediated gene silencing or RNA interference (RNAi) is a key mechanism for controlling mRNA abundance. The RNA-induced silencing complex, or RISC, is a multiprotein complex that incorporates a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or micro RNA (miRNA). Once the RISC associates with its RNA target, it is cleaved by the endonuclease Argonaute 2 (Ago2), resulting in loss of gene function. GW182 is and RNA-binding protein involved in mRNA metabolism and it is localized to cytoplasmic storage centres known as GW bodies (GWBs). GWBs are also enriched in proteins that are involved in mRNA degradation such as Ago2, and GW182 is thought to contribute and maintain the microenvironment of the RISC.
• Immunogen: Recombinant protein
• Recommended controls: IgG1
