AGO3 (Argonaute-3) / eIF2C3 [PCRP-AGO3-1C5]

Clear

Summary

This antigen is involved in binding and translation repression of short RNAs. This antigen is also known as argonaute RISC catalytic component 3.Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Proposed to be involved in stabilization of small RNA derivates (siRNA) derived from processed RNA polymerase III-transcribed Alu repeats containing a DR2 retinoic acid response element (RARE) in stem cells and in the subsequent siRNA-dependent degradation of a subset of RNA polymerase II-transcribed coding mRNAs by recruiting a mRNA decapping complex involving EDC4. Possesses RNA slicer activity but only on select RNAs bearing 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences to the region of guide-target complementarity.

Functions

  • Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Proposed to be involved in stabilization of small RNA derivates (siRNA) derived from processed RNA polymerase III-transcribed Alu repeats containing a DR2 retinoic acid response element (RARE) in stem cells and in the subsequent siRNA-dependent degradation of a subset of RNA polymerase II-transcribed coding mRNAs by recruiting a mRNA decapping complex involving EDC4. Possesses RNA slicer activity but only on select RNAs bearing 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences to the region of guide-target complementarity (PubMed:29040713).

Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions

  • ELISA (For coating, order antibody without BSA)
  • ,Immunoprecipitation (1-2ug per 100-500ug of total protein (1ml of cell lysate))
  • ,Flow Cytometry (1-2ug/million cells)
  • Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml)
  • ,Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
