Gene: DDX39B

Alternate names for this Gene: BAT1|D6S81E|UAP56

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the DEAD box family of RNA-dependent ATPases that mediate ATP hydrolysis during pre-mRNA splicing. The encoded protein is an essential splicing factor required for association of U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein with pre-mRNA, and it also plays an important role in mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This gene belongs to a cluster of genes localized in the vicinity of the genes encoding tumor necrosis factor alpha and tumor necrosis factor beta. These genes are all within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. Mutations in this gene may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on both chromosomes 6 and 11. Read-through transcription also occurs between this gene and the upstream ATP6V1G2 (ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal 13kDa, V1 subunit G2) gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33

Description of this Gene: DExD-box helicase 39B

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: ATP6V1G2-DDX39B

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring ATP6V1G2 (ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal 13kDa, V1 subunit G2) and DDX39B (DEAD box polypeptide 39B) genes located in the major histocompatibility complex class III region of chromosome 6. The read-through transcript and is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product.
