It has a molecular weight of approximately 97 kDa. Ago2 is found in the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells and is expressed in a wide range of tissues including the brain and liver. Its mechanical function involves binding to guide RNA and facilitating strand cleavage which is essential for gene silencing and regulation at the post-transcriptional level.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Argonaute-2 protein participates in gene silencing mechanisms. As a part of RISC Ago2 binds to microRNAs (miRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to direct sequence-specific cleavage of target mRNAs regulating their translation and stability. This protein is a part of a multi-protein complex that modulates gene expression and influences cellular homeostasis and development. In its biological role Argonaute-2 impacts cellular differentiation proliferation and apoptosis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSeveral cellular processes require Argonaute-2 notably the RNA interference (RNAi) and microRNA (miRNA) pathways. In these pathways it interacts with Dicer a protein essential for the maturation of small RNA molecules and facilitates the gene silencing process. Ago2 is also involved in the regulation of gene expression during embryonic development and stress responses indicating its importance in maintaining cellular function and responding to environmental changes.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnomalies in Argonaute-2 activity correlate with cancer including lung and breast cancer where dysregulation of miRNA pathways can lead to unchecked cellular proliferation. It is also linked to neurological disorders like schizophrenia possibly due to its role in gene expression regulation in neural cells. Interactions between Ago2 and proteins like Dicer and other Argonautes suggest complex regulatory networks that when disrupted contribute to these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851596222633,"sku":"ab233727","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab233727","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
