Product Overview

Tag	His
Host Species	Human
Synonym	Protein argonaute-2, Argonaute2, hAgo2, Argonaute RISC catalytic component 2, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C 2, eIF-2C 2, eIF2C 2, PAZ Piwi domain protein, PPD, AGO2, EIF2C2, Protein slicer.
Background	The Argonauteprotein is part of the RISC or RNA-induced silencing complex, as so, the protein has a key part in the slicing processes of RNA. The RNA interference (RNAi) is being held by RISC. Small non-coding RNA fragments bond to the Argonaute proteins, through base pairing, eventually leads to the cleavage of messenger RNA or translation suppression.
Description	AGO2 Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (a.a 1-859) containing 869a.a. including a 10 a.a N-terminal His tag. The total molecular weight is 98.4kDa (calculated).
Source	E.coli

Purity	>90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin	<1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	AGO2 is filtered (0.4 µm) and lyophilized from 0.5mg/ml solution in 50mM acetate buffer, pH 4.
Stability	Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C
Usage	For Research Use Only
Storage	Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
