Gene Information

human ... AGO2(27161)

General description

This gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. The encoded protein is highly basic, and contains a PAZ domain and a PIWI domain. It may interact with dicer1 and play a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing.

Provides endonuclease activity to RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC). Cleaves siRNA/mRNA heteroduplexes bound to RISC. Essential for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi).

Specificity

Recognizes Ago 2, also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 2 (EIF2C 2), MGC3183 and Q10.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein corresponding to residues 7-48 of human argonaute 2 (Ago2).

Application

Anti-Ago 2 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody for detection of Ago 2 also known as argonaute 2 & has been tested in WB.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by immunoblot in RIPA and cytosolic lysates from HeLa cells.

Long noncoding RNA FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA1 (FOXD2-AS1) plays an oncogenic role in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the function of FOXD2-AS1 in regulating radiosensitivity of GC cells and its underlying molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated.

The role of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remains unclear. CircPIAS1 (circBase ID: hsa_circ_0007088) was identified as overexpressed in HCC cases through bioinformatics analysis. This study aimed to investigate the oncogenic properties and mechanisms of circPIAS1 in HCC development.
