DDX50
Description
The DDX50 (DExD-box helicase 50) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.
DDX50 is an enzyme encoded by the DDX50 gene. It belongs to the DEAD box protein family, which are characterized by the conserved DEAD motif and are involved in various cellular processes related to RNA secondary structure. DDX50 is thought to play a role in ribosomal RNA synthesis or processing. It shares a similar genomic structure with DDX21 and is located on chromosome 10. DDX50 also has pseudogenes on chromosomes 2, 3, and 4. Alternative splicing produces multiple transcript variants, but the full length of all but one variant is unknown.
DDX50 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that is involved in ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing. It interacts with C1QBP and may play a role in ribosome assembly or other cellular processes.
DDX50 is also known as GU2, GUB, RH-II/GuB, mcdrh.
