Anti-DEAD-box helicase 49 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DDX49 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 483 amino acid residues and a mass of 54.2 kDa. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the DEAD box helicase protein family, it is known to be involved with rRNA processing. Other names for this target antigen include R27090_2, probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX49, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 49, DEAD box protein 49, and Dbp8. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some DEAD-box helicase 49 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.
