Gene: DDX42

Alternate names for this Gene: DDX42P|RHELP|RNAHP|SF3B8|SF3b125

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) box protein family. Members of this protein family are putative RNA helicases, and 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. Members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q23.3

Description of this Gene: DEAD-box helicase 42

Type of Gene: protein-coding
