Anti-DDX4 Antibody Prodrug, Protease Activated (2M1/2K4)

CAT#: VS-1025-YC141

The Anti-DDX4 Antibody Prodrug, Protease Activated (2M1/2K4) is an antibody prodrug comprised of a recombinant mouse antibody targeting human DDX4, linked to a masking peptide that conceals the active antigen-binding site via a protease-cleavable linker. The mask peptide is recombinantly attached to the amino terminus of either the light or heavy chain of the antibody, designed to block access to the antigen-binding site and physically prevent the antibody from binding to DDX4 protein. Once the masking peptide is cleaved by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the prodrug is activated, allowing the unmasked monoclonal antibody component to bind to DDX4 effectively. DDX4 (VASA) is an RNA helicase whose oncological relevance is primarily as a marker for germ cell tumors. Its presence is used diagnostically to confirm the lineage of certain malignant neoplasms that originate from germ cell populations.

Target

  • Introduction
  • DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which is a homolog of VASA proteins in Drosophila and several other species. The gene is specifically expressed in the germ cell lineage in both sexes and functions in germ cell development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
  • Alternative Names
  • DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) Box Polypeptide 4; VASA; EC 3.6.4.13; EC 3.6.1
