Anti-GW182 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target GW182 is a known alias name of the protein trinucleotide repeat containing adaptor 6A, encoded by the TNRC6A gene in humans. This 1962-amino acid residue protein is reported to play a role in RNA-mediated gene silencing by both micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue expression, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. Other synonyms for GW182 include CAGH26, FAME6, and GW1. Indicated applications for GW182 antibodies listed below include Western Blot.
