DDX24
Description
The DDX24 (DEAD-box helicase 24) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.
DDX24 is a human gene that encodes an ATP-dependent RNA helicase. DEAD box proteins are characterized by the conserved DEAD motif and are involved in various cellular processes related to RNA, such as translation initiation, RNA splicing, and ribosome assembly. While DDX24 shares little similarity with other known human DEAD box proteins, it exhibits high amino acid sequence similarity to the mouse Ddx24 protein. This suggests a potential role for DDX24 in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, cellular growth, and division.
DDX24 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase, a type of enzyme that uses energy from ATP to unwind and modify the structure of RNA molecules.
DDX24 is also known as -.
