Beschreibung

General description

GW182 is a phosphorylated cytoplasmic autoantigen. It contains multiple glycine-tryptophan (GW) repeats along with a single RNA recognition motif. GW182 is a protein of 182 kDa, found in mammalian cell types.

Application

Anti-GW182 antibody produced in rabbit has been used as a primary antibody for immunostaining of HeLa cells and human hepatoma cells. It has also been used for indirect immunofluorescence at a working concentration of 2.5-5.0μg/mL using human epithelial HEp-2 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycine-tryptophan (GW) bodies or P-bodies are cytoplasmic bodies that are involved in mRNA degradation, storage and translational repression. These bodies contain Argonaute proteins and m-RNAs that associate with GW182. GW182 is involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing/RNA interference (RNAi) via the microRNA pathway. Inhibition of gene expression leads to destruction of GWBs and disruption of RNAi and microRNA-induced gene silencing as it forms an integral component of GWBs.

Physical form

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