Scientific Background
Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The 'minimal RISC' appears to include AGO2 bound to a short guide RNA such as a microRNA (miRNA) or short interfering RNA (siRNA). These guide RNAs direct RISC to complentary mRNAs that are targets for RISC-mediated gene silencing.
Product Description
Yeast (S. cerevisiae) ExpressionRecombinant Human Protein argonaute-2 (AGO2), partial is a recombinant protein expressed in Yeast (S. cerevisiae) and purified to Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. as determined by SDS-PAGE. Supplied as Liquid or Lyophilized powder, n-terminal 6xhis-tagged. For research use only.
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
