DDX6 (DEAD/H BOX 6), also known as HLR2 or p54, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DDX6 gene. DDX6 belongs to the DEAD box family of putative RNA helicases that contain a characteristic asp-glu-ala-asp(DEAD) box motif(Seto et al., 1995). Tunnacliffe et al.(1993) assigned the DDX6 gene more precisely using a panel of sequence tagged sites(STSs) representing 30 markers previously assigned to 11q23. Using mass spectroscopy, Fenger-Gron et al.(2005) found that RCK, EDC3(YJDC), and HEDLS(RCD8) coimmunopurified with DCP1A and DCP2 from HEK293 cell lysates. Overexpression of DCP2, RCK, or EDC3 in HeLa cells reduced the association of endogenous DCP1A and XRN1 with cytoplasmic P bodies.

Optimal dilution of the DDX6 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Recombinant human protein (amino acids Q56-P483) was used as the immunogen for the DDX6 antibody.

After reconstitution, the DDX6 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
