DDX18 Antibody

DDX18 is a member of the DEAD box family of proteins that possesses several conserved motifs which include the highly conserved DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) amino acid sequence motif. The major activity of DEAD box proteins is to function as ATP-dependent RNA helicases. As helicases, DEAD proteins play an important role in all aspects of RNA metabolism and function which include pre-mRNA splicing, RNA synthesis, RNA degradation, RNA export, RNA translation, RNA secondary structure formation, ribosome biogenesis, and the assembly of RNP complexes. DDX18 has been observed to be a target of myc-max heterodimers.

Alternative names for DDX18 Antibody include ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX18 antibody, DEAD box protein 18 antibody, myc-regulated DEAD box protein antibody, MrDb antibody.
