background:
This gene encodes a DEAD box protein. 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
DHX37 is a member of the family of the DEAD box proteins, a group of proteins that present the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD). They have a role in RNA translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly
Similarity:
Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily.
Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
Contains 1 helicase SLCterminal domain.
