Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ DHX9 (DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box helicase 9) also known as RNA Helicase A, nuclear DNA helicase II (NDHII), belongs to the DExD/H family of helicase superfamily 2, that exhibits both RNA and DNA helicase activity in an ATP dependent reaction._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of mouse DHX9_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-DHX9/RHA antibody produced in rat has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ DHX9 (DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box helicase 9) is involved in RNA metabolism including RNA secondary structure rearrangement, RNA-protein interactions, RNA turnover, ribosome biogenesis, translation and small RNA metabolism. It participates in the replication cycles of retroviruses and other RNA viruses. DHX9 is implicated in multiple steps of HIV-1 replication, including transcription, export of unspliced viral RNA from the nucleus, translation, particle assembly and reverse transcription.
