{"product_id":"biolegend-651652","title":"Biolegend, 651652, Purified anti-Argonaute 3 Antibody, 100μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eArgonaute 3 (AGO3) is part of the Argonaute protein family, which plays an important role in RNA silencing and gene regulation. In the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, AGO3 interacts with miRNAs, helping regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to specific RNA targets and blocking their translation into proteins. Although AGO3, like AGO1 and AGO4, lacks significant catalytic activity, it still plays a role in RNA binding and miRNA stabilization, allowing it to assist in gene silencing. This process is crucial in a variety of biological functions, including cell differentiation, immune responses, and development.  Mutations or disruptions in AGO3 can have deleterious effects on reproductive health. AGO3 deficiency in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) leads to a buildup of transposons in the germline and, consequently, sterility. This highlights AGO3's importance in maintaining reproductive viability by safeguarding genetic material.\u003cbr\u003e\n100μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant fragment of human Argonaute 3\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: WB - Quality tested\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting.
