关于 DDX25

功能概要

以保守基序 Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) 为特征的 DEAD 盒蛋白是推定的 RNA 解旋酶。它们涉及许多涉及 RNA 二级结构改变的细胞过程，例如翻译起始、核和线粒体剪接以及核糖体和剪接体组装。根据它们的分布模式，DEAD box 蛋白家族的一些成员被认为参与胚胎发生、精子发生以及细胞生长和分裂。该基因编码该家族的一个成员。编码的蛋白质是促性腺激素调节和发育表达的睾丸 RNA 解旋酶。它可能有助于维持与类固醇生成和精子生成相关的睾丸功能。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

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 the DEAD box protein family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a member of this family. The encoded protein is a gonadotropin-regulated and developmentally expressed testicular RNA helicase. It may serve to maintain testicular functions related to steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
