Gene information for DDX18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8886
Official gene symbolDDX18
Full nameDEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 18
Aliases,FLJ33908,MrDb,
Gene summaryDEAD 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, and it is activated by Myc protein. [provided by RefSeq]
