Anti-DEAD-box helicase 59 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DDX59 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 619 amino acid residues and a mass of 68.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in fibroblasts. It is a member of the DEAD box helicase protein family. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Orofaciodigital syndrome. Other names for this target antigen include DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 59, DEAD box protein 59, zinc finger HIT domain-containing protein 5, zinc finger HIT-type containing 5, and probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX59. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some DEAD-box helicase 59 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
