Anti-DDX5 (DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) Box 5, DKFZp686J01190, G17P1, HLR1, HUMP68, p68)

DDX5, also known as p68 RNA helicase, is a 614aa, 68kD member of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases that contain the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif. DDX5 influences RNA transport, transcription, ribosome assembly, spliceosome function, RNA degradation, and the initiation of translation. DDX5 shares 87% aa identity with DDX-17 within the central region and the two are often expressed together. The C-terminal region used as an immunogen shares 96% and 99% aa identity with mouse and rat DDX5, respectively, but lies mainly outside the DDX-17 homology region. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
