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.

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.

RNA interference is a powerful mechanism for sequence-specific inhibition of gene expression. It is widely known that small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting the same region of a target-messenger RNA can have widely different efficacies. In efforts to better understand the
