Description

The DDX53 (DEAD-box helicase 53) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.

DDX53 is a human gene that encodes a protein containing domains found in the DEAD-box helicase protein family. These proteins participate in ATP-dependent RNA unwinding. DDX53 is an intronless gene, meaning it lacks introns.

DDX53 is also known as CAGE, CT26.
