DHX37 DEAH-box helicase 37

Gene ID: 57647, updated on 11-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Dhr1; DDX37; SRXY11; NEDBAVC

Summary

This gene encodes a DEAD box protein. 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
