Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of Argonaute 4 expression in rat thymus extract (lane 1) and 22RV1 whole cell lysates (lane 2). Argonaute 4 at 115KD was detected using rabbit anti- Argonaute 4 Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5 ug/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method. )

Background: AGO4 (Argonaute 4) is also known as EIF2C4. This gene encodes a member of the Argonaute family of proteins which play a role in RNA interference. The encoded protein is highly basic containing PAZ and PIWI domains, and it may play a role in short-interfering-RNA-mediated gene silencing. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 3, and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 1.

Uniprot Description
AGO4: Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Lacks endonuclease activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNAs. Also required for RNA-directed transcription and replication of the human hapatitis delta virus (HDV). Interacts with EIF4B, IMP8, PRMT5, TNRC6A and TNRC6B. Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.
Protein type: Translation; Translation initiation
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p34
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; membrane

The Anti-Argonaute 4 Antibody reacts with Human, Rat No cross reactivity with other proteins. and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Argonaute 4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: 0.1-0.5mug/ml; Tested Species: Human, Rat Tested Species:In-house tested species with positive results. Other applications have not been tested. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AGO4 ago4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Argonaute 4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
