Description
Product Usage Information
For optimal ChIP results, use 20 μl of antibody and 10 μg of chromatin (approximately 4 x 10 6 cells) per IP. This antibody has been validated using SimpleChIP ® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits.
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Chromatin IP: 1:25
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Chromatin IP
Specificity / Sensitivity
Drosha (D30F3) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Drosha protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding His549 of human Drosha.
Background
Drosha was identified as a nuclear RNase III that catalyzes the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) processing (1). This enzyme processes the long primary transcript pri-miRNAs into stem-looped pre-miRNAs. Interference of Drosha results in the increase of pri-miRNAs and the decrease of pre-miRNAs (1). Drosha exists in a multiprotein complex called Microprocessor along with other components, such as DGCR8 (2). Drosha and DGCR8 are necessary for miRNA biogenesis (3).
