MIRacle™ mmu-miR-221-5p miRNA Agomir/Antagomir

MicroRNA: mmu-miR-221-5p Accession Number: MIMAT0017060 Mature Sequence: ACCUGGCAUACAAUGUAGAUUUCUGU mmu-miR-221-5p are small non-coding RNAs of 20-22 nucleotides, typically excised from 60-110 nucleotide foldback RNA precursor structures. miRNAs are involved in crucial biological processes, including development, differentiation, apoptosis, and proliferation, through imperfect pairing with target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of protein-coding genes and the transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulation of their expression.

MicroRNA Agomir is a special-labeled and chemically modified double-stranded small RNA that mimics the endogenous miRNA to regulate the biological function of the target gene. MicroRNA Antagomir is an especially chemically modified miRNA antagonist. It strongly competes with mature miRNAs in the body to prevent the complementary pairing of miRNAs and their target genes, thereby inhibiting miRNAs from functioning. Why choose mmu-miR-221-5p miRNA Agomir/Antagomir from AcceGen? AcceGen has extended experience in MicroRNA Agomir/Antagomir synthesis services that cover all human, mouse, and rat miRNAs in the current miRBase. Compared to standard miRNA mimics and inhibitors, AcceGen miRNA agomir and antagomir are more resistant to degradation, thus having a lasting effect: minimum for 1 week, up to 5-6 weeks. These products can be used in in vitro or in vivo miRNA functional studies.
