Mouse anti Human DDX3X antibody recognizes the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X, also known as DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 3, X-linked, DEAD box protein 3, DEAD/H box-3 or helicase-like protein 2.

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. DDX3X gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which interacts specifically with hepatitis C virus core protein resulting a change in intracellular location. DDX3X has a homolog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. The protein sequence is 91% identical between DDX3X and the Y-linked homolog. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010).

Mouse anti Human DDX3X antibody detects a band of 75 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
