DEAD/DEAH box helicase family protein
DEAD/DEAH box helicase
Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.

The DEAD box RNA helicase family in Arabidopsis thaliana. Aubourg S, Kreis M, Lecharny A;. Nucleic Acids Res 1999;27:628-636. (from Pfam)
helicase-related protein
The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase. (from Pfam)
