Components

This synthetic miRNA is based on the mature miRNA sequence. It does not contain the full precursor miRNA stem-loop.

Storage Conditions

Shipped at 4 °C. Store at -20 °C for one year. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles after reconstitution.

Specificity

MiRNA Inhibitors are chemically synthesized, complementary, antisense single-stranded oligonucleotides to their target, endogenous mature miRNA. It effectively prevents the target miRNA to bind to normal cellular binding sites. Transfection of inhibitors followed by downstream gene expression analysis or phenotypic analysis, is performed to elucidate the targets and roles of particular miRNAs.
