Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8 in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 86.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
DGCR8 is the RNA-binding partner of the RNase III enzyme Drosha in the Microprocessor complex. It recognizes primary microRNA transcripts in the nucleus and positions Drosha to cut out precursor microRNAs, the first step of canonical microRNA biogenesis. DGCR8 lies in the 22q11.2 deletion region and is studied in microRNA biology and neurodevelopment.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human 293T cells, human HeLa cells, human A431 cells, human K562 whole cel.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human rectal cancer tissue, mouse small intestine tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): A431 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human DGCR8 fragment (Lys561–Gln762), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8 in the nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitously expressed. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
