Anti-DEAH-box helicase 38 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DHX38 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1227 amino acid residues and a mass of 140.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the DEAD box helicase protein family, it is a suspected ATP-binding RNA helicase (Probable). The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa. Other names for this target antigen include PRP16, PRPF16, RP84, pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase PRP16, ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX38, and DDX38. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of DEAH-box helicase 38 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
