About DDX18

Cytogenetic location: 2q14.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:117,814,691-117,832,377 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues and 38 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 23.5), thyroid (RPKM 21.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, and it is activated by Myc protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
