Background of DGCR8 antibody
DGCR8 (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry Q8WYQ5) is a component of the microprocessor complex that acts as a R- and heme-binding protein and is involved in the initial step of microR (miR) biogenesis. This microprocessor complex that is required to process primary miR transcripts (pri-miRs) to release precursor miR (pre-miR) in the nucleus. Within the microprocessor complex, DGCR8 functions as a molecular anchor necessary for the recognition of pri-miR at dsR-ssR junction and directs DROSHA to cleave 11 bp away form the junction. This releases hairpin-shaped pre-miRs that are subsequently cut by the cytoplasmic DICER to generate mature miRs. The heme-bound DGCR8 dimer binds pri-miRs as a cooperative trimer (of dimers) and is active in triggering pri-miR cleavage, whereas the heme-free DGCR8 monomer binds pri-miRs as a dimer and is much less active. Both double-stranded and single-stranded regions of a pri-miR are required for its binding. DGCR8 is involved in the silencing of embryonic stem cells self-renewal.
