Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; RNA helicase activity; and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in response to benzoic acid; response to retinoic acid; and spermatogenesis. Located in chromatoid body and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Orthologous to human DDX4 (DEAD-box helicase 4).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
