Anti-MOV10

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Putative helicase MOV-10 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MOV10 gene. MOV10, also named as KIAA1631, belongs to the DNA2/NAM7 helicase family and SDE3 subfamily. It is required for RNA-mediated gene silencing by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Human MOV10 may regulate a wide range of RNA viruses and could also control the retro-transposition of endogenous retroelements in mammals. MOV10 has a broad antiretroviral activity that can target a wide range of retroviruses, and it could be actively involved in host defense against retroviral infection. MOV10 can potently inhibit HIV-1 replication at multiple stages. It is involved in the progression of telomerase-catalyzing reaction via the interaction of telomerase protein and telomere DNA. Protein function: 5' to 3' RNA helicase that is involved in a number of cellular roles ranging from mRNA metabolism and translation, modulation of viral infectivity, inhibition of retrotransposition, or regulation of synaptic transmission (PubMed:23093941). Plays an important role in innate antiviral immunity by promoting type I interferon production (PubMed:27016603, PubMed:35157734, PubMed:27974568). Mechanistically, specifically uses IKKepsilon/IKBKE as the mediator kinase for IRF3 activation (PubMed:27016603, PubMed:35157734). Blocks HIV-1 virus replication at a post-entry step (PubMed:20215113). Counteracts HIV-1 Vif-mediated degradation of APOBEC3G through its helicase activity by interfering with the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (PubMed:29258557). Inhibits also hepatitis B virus/HBV replication by interacting with HBV RNA and thereby inhibiting the early step of viral reverse transcription (PubMed:31722967). Contributes to UPF1 mRNA target degradation by translocation along 3' UTRs (PubMed:24726324). Required for microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Required for both miRNA-mediated translational repression and miRNA-mediated cleavage of complementary mRNAs by RISC (PubMed:16289642, PubMed:17507929, PubMed:22791714). In cooperation with FMR1, regulates miRNA-mediated translational repression by AGO2 (PubMed:25464849). Restricts retrotransposition of long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) in cooperation with TUT4 and TUT7 counteracting the RNA chaperonne activity of L1RE1 (PubMed:30122351, PubMed:23093941). Facilitates LINE-1 uridylation by TUT4 and TUT7 (PubMed:30122351). Required for embryonic viability and for normal central nervous system development and function. Plays two critical roles in early brain development: suppresses retroelements in the nucleus by directly inhibiting cDNA synthesis, while regulates cytoskeletal mRNAs to influence neurite outgrowth in the cytosol. May function as a messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) clearance factor (PubMed:24726324). [The UniProt Consortium]
