Gene:
DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box polypeptide 40
Description:
DDX40 is a member of the DExH/D box family of ATP-dependent RNA helicases. RNA helicases catalyze the unwinding of double-stranded RNA and play a role in RNA metabolism, including pre-mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and organellar gene expression.[supplied by OMIM]
