    GW182 Antibody (A-6) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects GW182 of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-GW182 antibody (A-6) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. GW182 plays a critical role in gene expression regulation by interacting with microRNAs (miRNAs) and is essential for the formation and function of processing bodies (P-bodies), which are involved in mRNA decay and storage. P-bodies are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring proper mRNA regulation, as disassembly can lead to impaired silencing of target mRNAs, potentially resulting in various diseases. GW182 serves as a cytoplasmic marker for these structures and interacts with argonaute-2, a key component of the RNA-induced silencing complex. GW182 has been associated with autoimmune conditions such as ataxia and Sjögren′s syndrome, where patients develop autoantibodies against proteins associated with P-bodies, highlighting GW182′s importance in both normal cellular function and disease pathology.
