DGCR8 blocking peptide
DGCR8 Antibody (Center) Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a subunit of the microprocessor complex which mediates the biogenesis of microRNAs from the primary microRNA transcript. The encoded protein is a double-stranded RNA binding protein that functions as the non-catalytic subunit of the microprocessor complex. This protein is required for binding the double-stranded RNA substrate and facilitates cleavage of the RNA by the ribonuclease III protein, Drosha. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Uniprot Description
DGCR8: a double strand RNA binding protein (dsRBP) which is essential for the first processing step of primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs). Apparently binds and is activated by heme. A nuclear complex of Drosha with DGCR8 cleaves pri-miRNA substrates into 60-70 nucleotide intermediates (pre-miRNA), thus initiating the microRNA maturation process. Drosha provides the catalytic site for this cleavage, whereas DGCR8 (Pasha) anchors substrate pri-miRNAs. Pre-miRNAs are then processed by the cytoplasmic Dicer-TRBP complex to approximately 20-22 nt mature miRNAs.

Product Notes
The DGCR8 dgcr8 (Catalog #AAA9227931) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "DGCR8, Blocking Peptide" 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
