Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region 2-50 of mouse GW182 autoantigen conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in human.

Trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 6A protein, CAG repeat protein 26, Glycine-tryptophan protein of 182 kDa, Protein GW1, TNRC6A, TNRC6, CAGH26, TNR6A
Target
Function: Plays a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Required for miRNA-dependent repression of translation and for siRNA-dependent endonucleolytic cleavage of complementary mRNAs by argonaute family proteins.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm ⺠P-body. Note: Mammalian P-bodies are also known as GW bodies (GWBs).
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
Involvement in disease: Antibodies against TNRC6A are found in sera from patients with Sjoegren syndrome (SS), ataxia and sensor neuropathy diseases that developed autoantibodies against protein of the GWB structure. Autoantibodies were mapped to the GW-rich mid-part, the non-GW-rich region and the C-terminus of the protein.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
