Anti-U1 snRNP C (U1C) antibody, Rat monoclonal

Uses

Anti-U1 snRNP C (U1C) antibody, Rat monoclonal has been used for:

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• immunoprecipitation
• immunocytochemistry

General Description

The U1 snRNP complex contains the U1 snRNA molecule and the U1 snRNP specific proteins U1-70K, U1A and U1C, plus a common set of eight proteins, called Sm proteins U1A and U1-70K contain RNA binding domains and interact with naked snRNA on their own.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) has an important function in the early formation of the spliceosome, the multicomponent complex in which pre-mRNA splicing takes place. The binding of U1C to the U1snRNP particle is dependent on protein-protein interactions between U1C and U1-70K as well as U1C and the common Sm proteins.
