ModBase 3D Structure for Q63618
Specificity
ESPN siRNA (Rat) is a target-specific 19-23 nt siRNA oligo duplexes designed to knock down gene expression.
Purity/Purification
> 97%
Form/Format
Lyophilized powder
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions for Use
We recommends transfection with 100 nM siRNA 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. Before resuspending, briefly centrifuge the tube to ensure the lyophilized siRNA is at the bottom of the tube. Resuspend the siRNA oligos to an appropriate concentration with DEPC water. For each vial, suitable for 250 transfections in 24 well plate (20 pmol for each well).
Components
We offer pre-designed sets of 3 different target-specific siRNA oligo duplexes of rat ESPN gene. Each vial contains 5 nmol of lyophilized siRNA. The duplexes can be transfected individually or pooled together to achieve knockdown of the target gene, which is most commonly assessed by qPCR or western blot. Our siRNA oligos are also chemically modified (2'-OMe) at no extra charge for increased stability and enhanced knockdown in vitro and in vivo.
Preparation and Storage
Shipped at 4 degree C. Store at -20 degree C for one year.
Negative Control
siRNA Negative Control (Catalog# MBS8241404) is a non-targeting 21 nt siRNA recommended as a negative control for experiments using targeted siRNA transfection.
Other Notes
Small volumes of ESPN sirna vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for ESPN
is a fusion protein which binds actin filaments to each other and to the membranes [RGD, Feb 2006]
UniProt Comments for ESPN
ESPN: Multifunctional actin-bundling protein. Plays a major role in regulating the organization, dimensions, dynamics and signaling capacities of the actin filament-rich, microvillus-type specializations that mediate sensory transduction in variouS mechanosensory and chemosensory cells. Defects in ESPN are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 36 with or without vestibular involvement (DFNB36). A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Cytoskeletal; Actin-binding
Cellular Component: filamentous actin; stereocilium; stereocilium bundle; microvillus; cytoplasm; dendritic spine; stereocilium bundle tip; cell junction; brush border; actin cytoskeleton
Molecular Function: actin filament binding; SH3 domain binding
Biological Process: positive regulation of filopodium formation; actin filament bundle formation; parallel actin filament bundle formation; sensory perception of sound; actin filament organization; locomotory behavior; negative regulation of cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis
