Invitrogen™ Human DHX36 Synthetic Peptide

Description

DHX36 Synthetic Peptide, PEP-1536, from Invitrogen.

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp, are putative RNA helicases implicated in several cellular processes involving modifications of RNA secondary structure. DHX36 (DEAH box protein 36), also known as MLE-like protein 1 and RNA helicase associated with AU-rich element ARE (RHAU), belongs to RNA helicase of the DEAH family and may function in sex development and spermatogenesis. It is expressed in testis and is evolutionary conserved with true orthologs in almost all animal species. DHX36 plays a role in degradation and deadenylation of mRNAs containing in their 3'-UTR the consensus ARE sequence element. DHX36 is required for early embryogenesis.
