Our Anti-DGCR8 (Ser377) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human and mouse DGCR8 (Ser377) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.
Western blot of mouse nuclei lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~120 kDa DGCR8 protein phosphorylated at in the first lane (-). Phosphospecificity is shown in the second lane (+) where immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of the phosphopeptide used as the antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide (not shown).
The Drosha-DGCR8 microprocessor complex is required for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. DGCR8 (DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8) recognizes the RNA substrate, whereas Drosha functions as the endonuclease. DGCR8, which contains two double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding domains, interacts with the pri-miRNA and functions as the molecular anchor that measures the distance from the ds-RNA-ssRNA junction and directs Drosha cleavage 11bp away (Han, J., et al, 2006). The efficiency of Drosha cleavage increases in the presence of heme and promotes the formation of highly ordered DGCR8 structures upon binding to RNA (Faller, M., et al, 2010).

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Liquid
Prepared from pooled rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho and non-phospho peptide affinity columns.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
WB: 1:1000
Unconjugated
Specific for endogenous levels of the ~120 kDa DGCR8 protein phosphorylated at Ser377. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
