Background

Argonaute 4 (Ago4, aka EIF2C4) is a member of the Argonaute family of proteins involved in RNAi mediated gene silencing through siRNA and miRNA effectors. The Argonaute proteins are part of RISC, the RNAi Induced Silencing Complex. Ago4 lacks RNase activity and does not appear to cleave target mRNA molecules. It binds to microRNAs (miRNAs) and represses the translation of mRNAs which are complementary to them. Ago4 has both a PAZ and a PIWI domain, indicative of the Argonaute family of proteins.

MicroRNA-3´UTR Interaction Products

If you are interested in this antibody, you may also have an interest in products for studying the functional impact of miRNA-3´UTR interactions. The LightSwitch™ 3´UTR Reporter GoClone™ Collection includes over 12,000 human 3´UTRs that have been cloned into the pLightSwitch_3UTR vector for use in luciferase reporter assays. These constructs can be co-transfected with our collections of LightSwitch miRNA Mimics and Inhibitors to study the effects of over-expression of a miRNA of interest, or to knock down the expression of endogenous human miRNAs in living cells.
