关于 DDX24

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，该家族的一些成员被认为参与了胚胎发生、精子发生以及细胞生长和分裂。该基因编码的 DEAD box 蛋白与任何其他已知的人类 DEAD box 蛋白几乎没有相似性，但在氨基酸水平上与小鼠 Ddx24 具有很高的相似性。[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 this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which shows little similarity to any of the Other known human DEAD box proteins, but shows a high similarity to mouse Ddx24 at the amino acid level.
