Rabbit Anti-DDX25/GRTH antibody
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]

Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in the Leydig and germ cells of the testis and weakly expressed in the pituitary and hypothalamus.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated on threonine residues. The phosphorylated form is found in the cytoplasm but not in the nucleus (By similarity).
Similarity:
Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family.
Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
Contains 1 helicase SLCterminal domain.
