Rat anti-Human Ago1 Monoclonal Antibody | anti-Ago1 antibody
Ago1 antibody (mAb)(Clone 4B8)
Background: The Argonaute family proteins (Ago1, Ago2, Ago3 and Ago4) are involved in RNAi mediated gene silencing through siRNA and miRNA effectors. The Argonaute proteins are part of RISC, the RNAi Induced Silencing Complex. Binding of RISC can inhibit mRNA translation and results in the degradation of the mRNA through the action of Ago2-mediated target cleavage. Ago1 is non-essential for siRNA-directed target RNA cleavage but is needed for the production of mature miRNA that affects miRNA-directed RNA cleavage. Argonaute family proteins contain a PAZ and a PIWI domain.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the argonaute family of proteins, which associate with small RNAs and have important roles in RNA interference (RNAi) and RNA silencing. This protein binds to microRNAs (miRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and represses translation of mRNAs that are complementary to them. It is also involved in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions that are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs), as well as in the degradation of miRNA-bound mRNA targets. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A recent study showed this gene to be an authentic stop codon readthrough target, and that its mRNA could give rise to an additional C-terminally extended isoform by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

Uniprot Description
AGO1: Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Binds to short RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) or short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), 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 transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of promoter regions which are complementary to bound short antigene RNAs (agRNAs). Interacts with DDB1, DDX5, DDX6, DHX30, DHX36, DDX47, DICER1, EIF2C2/AGO2, ELAVL1, HNRNPF, IGF2BP1, ILF3, IMP8, MATR3, MOV10, PABPC1, PRMT5, RBM4, SART3, TNRC6B, UPF1 and YBX1. Associates with polysomes and messenger ribonucleoproteins (mNRPs). Interacts with LIMD1, WTIP and AJUBA. Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily.

Product Notes
The Ago1 ago1 (Catalog #AAA388745) is an Antibody produced from Rat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Ago1 antibody (mAb)(Clone 4B8) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Ago1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Ago1 ago1 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 "Ago1, Monoclonal 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
