Anti-DGCR8 Antibody, clone 11C10.1

Microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8 (UniProt Q8WYQ5; also known as DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8, Pasha) is encoded by the DGCR8 (also known as DGCRK6, LP4941) gene (ORF C22orf12; Gene ID 54487) in human. The DGCR8 gene encodes a double-stranded RNA-binding protein that functions as a non-catalytic subunit of the microprocessor complex which mediates the biogenesis of microRNAs (miRNA) from the primary microRNA (pri-microRNA) transcript. miRNAs are initially transcribed as pri-microRNA with a local stem-loop that is cleaved by the microprocessor complex to produce the precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA). The microprocessor complex is comprised of the RNase Drosha and the RNA-binding protein DGCR8. DGCR8 is reported to be phosphorylated by Erk and Abl, an event that promotes DGCR8 stability and stimulates Drosha recruitment and subsequent substrate pri-microRNAs processing.

~120 kDa observed. 86.05 kDa (isoform 1) and 82.75 kDa (isoform 3). The detected band size is consistent with the reported apparent molecular weight (Ha, M., and Kim, V.N. (2014). Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 15(8):509-524).

Epitope: Region between WW and DRBM 1 domain.

GST-tagged recombinant fragment from the region between the WW and DRBM 1 domain of human DGCR8.
