General description

Anti-AGO2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the AGO2-10 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human AGO2 protein, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). AGO2 is also known as protein argonaute 2, argonaute RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) catalytic component 2, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 2 (eIF2C2) and PAZ Piwi domain protein (PPD). Argonaute 2 (AGO2) belongs to the Argonaute family. It is located on human chromosome 8q24. Ago proteins localize to the cytoplasm of somatic cells and are concentrated in cytoplasmic processing bodies.

synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human AGO2 protein, conjugated to KLH

Application

Anti-AGO2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Argonaute 2 (AGO2) exhibits intrinsic endonuclease activity. It can directly cleave mRNAs in a small RNA-guided manner. AGO2 plays a central role in RNA silencing processes as essential catalytic components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). It has an important role in stabilization of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes from extracellular body fluids.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
