Rabbit Anti-DDX28/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of the DEAD box protein family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene is intronless. It encodes an RNA-dependent ATPase. The encoded protein is localized in the mitochondria and the nucleus, and can be transported between the mitochondria and the nucleus.

Function:
May be involved in RNA processing or transport. Has RNA and Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Transported between these two compartments. Nuclear localization depends on active RNA polymerase II transcription.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in all tissues tested, including brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, leukocytes, colon, small intestine, ovary and prostate.
Similarity:
Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family.
Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
Contains 1 helicase SLCterminal domain.
