This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-EDC4 antibody (Catalog #: ARP55023_P050). It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
In the process of mRNA degradation, EDC4 seems to play a role in mRNA decapping. It is the component of a complex containing DCP2 and DCP1A which functions in decapping of ARE-containing mRNAs. EDC4 promotes complex formation between DCP1A and DCP2.It enhances the catalytic activity of DCP2 (in vitro).
