DDX21 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody from Bioassay Technology Laboratory

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. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein: which is an antigen recognized by autoimmune antibodies from a patient with watermelon stomach disease. This protein unwinds double-stranded RNA: folds single-stranded RNA: and may play important roles in ribosomal RNA biogenesis: RNA editing: RNA transport: and general transcription
