*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Tool name: pHBx-FLAG vector
  • Alternate name: nonstructural protein X, protein X, peptide X, pX
  • Tool sub type: pcDNA3.1
  • Backbone size without insert: 5428
  • Bacterial resistance: Ampicillin
  • Selectable markers: Neomycin
  • Description: This vector can be used to express hepatitis B virus HBx protein in a variety of primary and cancer cells. The addition of the FLAG-epitope tag allows for detection in western and immunofluorescent cell-based studies and provides better detection ability than can currently be achieved with commercially available anti-HBx antibodies.

Handling

  • Shipping conditions: Dry Ice

Target Details

  • Target: HBx with FLAG tag at C-terminus

Application Details

  • Application notes: Multi-functional hepatitis B viral protein, non-structural protein X, that modulates mitochondrial function in host hepatocytes interfering with host anti-viral defenses, promoting viral transcription, and contributing to hepatocellular carcinoma development.
