siGLO Lamin A/C Control siRNA (Rat)
Correlate fluorescence uptake and silencing activity with a single control
siGLO Lamin A/C Control siRNA is a validated positive control, guaranteed to silence Lamin A/C in rat cells. This control siRNA is chemically modified to significantly extend siRNA stability and fluorescence compared to conventional siRNAs similarly labeled with fluorophores.
Lamins are intermediate filament-type proteins, which form major components of the nuclear lamina. Lamins A and C have close sequence homology and are derived by differential splicing and alternative polyadenylation from one gene. This gene is abundantly expressed in most cells, and because it is non-essential, knockdown of the corresponding mRNA does not affect cell viability.
