Anti-DEAD-box helicase 17 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DDX17 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 729 amino acid residues and a mass of 80.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the DEAD box helicase protein family, it is known to be involved with viral immune response and myoblast differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including sumoylation and acetylation. Other names for this target antigen include RH70, probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX17, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box helicase 17, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 17, and P72. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of DEAD-box helicase 17 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
