AGO2 Antibody (PACO09039)

The AGO2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO09039) is a valuable tool for researchers studying AGO2, a key component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) involved in RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting AGO2, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis of AGO2 protein expression in various cell types, making it well-suited for investigations in RNAi, gene regulation, and viral defense mechanisms.AGO2 is a critical player in post-transcriptional gene silencing processes, contributing to the regulation of gene expression by binding to small RNA molecules and guiding them to their target mRNA sequences for degradation or translational repression.

Its pivotal role in RNAi pathways has important implications for research in areas such as gene therapy, antiviral defense mechanisms, and understanding the molecular basis of diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. By studying AGO2, researchers can gain insights into the intricate mechanisms of gene regulation and potentially identify new therapeutic targets for various diseases.

UniProt Protein Function:AGO2: the endonuclease in RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) that cleaves siRNA/mRNA heteroduplexes bound to RISC. Ago2, along with Dicer and TRBP, are major components of RISC. Interacts with Dicer1 through its Piwi domain. Required for proper fibroblast growth factor signaling during gastrulation. Essential for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi).

NCBI Summary: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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
