PRR25
Description
The PRR25 (proline rich 25) gene located on chromosome 16.
PRR25, also known as Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX58, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRR25 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 19 and comprises 25 exons. The protein it encodes is a member of the DEAD-box helicase family, which is known for its role in RNA metabolism. PRR25 is specifically involved in the regulation of the innate immune response, particularly in recognizing viral RNA and triggering downstream signaling pathways leading to the production of antiviral cytokines. It acts as a sensor for viral infections and contributes to the initiation of antiviral defense mechanisms within the cell. The protein is thought to play a role in the proper localization and function of other immune-related proteins. Despite its involvement in the immune system, further research is needed to fully understand its exact mechanisms and roles in various cellular processes.
