Entrez gene ID9879
Official gene symbolDDX46
Full nameDEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 46
Aliases,FLJ25329,KIAA0801,MGC9936,PRPF5,Prp5,
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. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the 17S U2 snRNP complex; it plays an important role in pre-mRNA splicing. [provided by RefSeq]
