DDX21 Antibody (N-term) [APR31508G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This DDX21 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 128-156 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human DDX21.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JIK5}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JIK5}. Note=Present both in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Interaction with JUN promotes translocation from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm (PubMed:11823437, PubMed:18180292) Interaction with WDR46 is required for localization to the nucleolus (PubMed:23848194) . Colocalizes in the cytosol with DDX1, DHX36 and TICAM1. The multi-helicase-TICAM1 complex may translocate to the mitochondria upon poly (I:C) RNA ligand stimulation (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JIK5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11823437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18180292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23848194}

Molecular Weight: 87344

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: DDX21

Gene ID: 9188

Function: RNA helicase that acts as a sensor of the transcriptional status of both RNA polymerase (Pol) I and II: promotes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing and transcription from polymerase II (Pol II) (PubMed:25470060, PubMed:28790157) . Binds various RNAs, such as rRNAs, snoRNAs, 7SK and, at lower extent, mRNAs (PubMed:25470060) . In the nucleolus, localizes to rDNA locus, where it directly binds rRNAs and snoRNAs, and promotes rRNA transcription, processing and modification. Required for rRNA 2'-O-methylation, possibly by promoting the recruitment of late-acting snoRNAs SNORD56 and SNORD58 with pre- ribosomal complexes (PubMed:25470060, PubMed:25477391) . In the nucleoplasm, binds 7SK RNA and is recruited to the promoters of Pol II- transcribed genes: acts by facilitating the release of P-TEFb from inhibitory 7SK snRNP in a manner that is dependent on its helicase activity, thereby promoting transcription of its target genes (PubMed:25470060) . Functions as cofactor for JUN-activated transcription: required for phosphorylation of JUN at 'Ser-77' (PubMed:11823437, PubMed:25260534) . Can unwind double-stranded RNA (helicase) and can fold or introduce a secondary structure to a single- stranded RNA (foldase) (PubMed:9461305) . Together with SIRT7, required to prevent R-loop-associated DNA damage and transcription-associated genomic instability: deacetylation by SIRT7 activates the helicase activity, thereby overcoming R-loop-mediated stalling of RNA polymerases (PubMed:28790157) . Involved in rRNA processing (PubMed:14559904, PubMed:18180292) . May bind to specific miRNA hairpins (PubMed:28431233) . Component of a multi-helicase-TICAM1 complex that acts as a cytoplasmic sensor of viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and plays a role in the activation of a cascade of antiviral responses including the induction of proinflammatory cytokines via the adapter molecule TICAM1 (By similarity) .
