DDX12P
Description
The DDX12P (DEAD/H-box helicase 12, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 12.
DDX12P, a member of the DEAD-box protein family, is a crucial component of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for removing non-coding introns from pre-mRNA. It exhibits RNA-dependent ATPase activity, which is essential for its role in spliceosome assembly and function.
DDX12P, also known as DEAD-box helicase 12P, plays a crucial role in the regulation of mRNA splicing. It acts as a molecular chaperone, facilitating the assembly of spliceosomes, the protein complexes responsible for removing non-coding introns from pre-mRNA. By controlling the formation and function of spliceosomes, DDX12P ensures accurate and efficient mRNA processing, leading to the production of functional proteins.
DDX12P is also known as CHLR2, DDX12.
