Gene information for DHX38 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9785
Official gene symbolDHX38
Full nameDEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box polypeptide 38
Aliases,DDX38,KIAA0224,PRP16,PRPF16,
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. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the DEAD/H box family of splicing factors. This protein resembles yeast Prp16 more closely than other DEAD/H family members. It is an ATPase and essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. [provided by RefSeq]
