Amino acids 253-272 (EDEDSIFAHYQTGINFDKYD) were used as the immunogen for this VASA antibody (100% human, mouse and rat homology).
DEAD/H BOX 4, also known as DDX4 and VASA contains the 8 conserved domains found in all known DEAD box proteins. The amino acid sequence in this core region shows greater similarity to VASA homologs in other species than to other human DEAD box proteins. By radiation hybrid analysis, Castrillon et al.(2000) mapped the gene to 5q. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, they refined the localization to 5q11.2-q12. This region is syntenic to the distal end of mouse chromosome 13, where the mouse homolog resides(Abe and Noce, 1997). Using a combination of proteomics, cytology, and functional analysis in C. elegans, Chu et al.(2006) reduced 1,099 proteins copurified with spermatogenic chromatin to 132 proteins for functional analysis.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the VASA antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
