Applications

Show applications key

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab70522 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application notes

ICC/IF: 1/200.

Please see the protocols section of this datasheet for the ICC/IF protocol specific to this antibody.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Target

Function

Plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Required for miRNA-dependent repression of translation and for siRNA-dependent endonucleolytic cleavage of complementary mRNAs by argonaute family proteins.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the GW182 family.
Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.

Cellular localization

Cytoplasm > P-body. Mammalian P-bodies are also known as GW bodies.

IF image of ab70522 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab70522, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM
