The DDX3X antibody is a crucial tool in studying the DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked (DDX3X) protein, an ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved in multiple cellular processes, including RNA metabolism, translation initiation, and innate immune signaling. DDX3X plays a vital role in regulating gene expression, mRNA splicing, and nucleocytoplasmic transport. Mutations in the DDX3X gene are linked to developmental disorders, intellectual disabilities, and cancers, particularly in medulloblastoma and leukemia. In females, DDX3X mutations are associated with neurodevelopmental syndromes, while hemizygous mutations in males often prove lethal. Antibodies targeting DDX3X enable researchers to investigate its expression, localization, and interactions in normal and pathological contexts. These antibodies are widely used in techniques like Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to assess protein levels in tissues or cell lines. Recent studies also explore DDX3X's role in viral infections (e.g., HIV, hepatitis C) and its potential as a therapeutic target. Commercial DDX3X antibodies are typically validated for specificity and sensitivity, though variability in experimental conditions may require optimization. Their applications extend to cancer research, neurological disorder studies, and virology, making them indispensable for unraveling DDX3X's multifaceted biological roles and clinical implications.
