Anti-DGCR8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein DGCR8 microprocessor complex subunit. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 773 amino acid residues and a mass of 86 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. DGCR8 is a known component of the microprocessor complex that acts as a RNA- and heme-binding protein that is involved in the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. Synonyms for this target antigen include DGCRK6, Gy1, pasha, microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8, DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8, and C22orf12. DGCR8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chicken species. Over 120 citations in the literature describe the use of DGCR8 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
