Gene information for DDX55 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57696
Official gene symbolDDX55
Full nameDEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 55
Aliases,FLJ16577,KIAA1595,MGC33209,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the DEAD box protein family. 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. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of only one transcript has been confirmed. [provided by RefSeq]
