BioTracker MultiTASQ G-Quadruplex (G4) Cell Probe

DNA/RNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded nucleic acid structures that fold from numerous guanine (G)-rich sequences found in the genome and transcriptome. Their abundance and localization in critical regulatory regions make them key players in genetic diseases (cancer, neuropathology), but not only (e.g., viral infection). For this reason G4s have garnered intense interest as potential targets in different therapeutic areas
The BioTracker^™ MultiTASQ G-quadruplex G4 cell probe is optimized for detection (1) and/or the isolation of G4s (2,3). MultiTASQ utilizes the template-assembled synthetic G-quartets (TASQ) (4) concept as a biomimetic ligand for G-quadruplexes, a design which results in high specificity for folded G4.

MultiTASQ detects ribosomal RNA-G4 associated with perinuclear rough ER regions to a greater degree compared to BG4 antibody. MultiTASQ is an alkynylated probe that allows for background-free detection via click chemistry and is suitable for G4 capture chemi-precipitation and click imaging applications. MultiTASQ is compatible with live-cell incubation. The BioTracker MultiTASQ G4 cell probe is a uniquely designed, versatile tool for G4 detection and analysis.
