Official Full Name: DExH-box helicase 9
Also known as: LKP; RHA; DDX9; NDH2; NDHII
This gene encodes a member of the deah-containing RNA helicase family. The encoded protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent unwinding of double-stranded RNA and DNA-RNA complexes. The protein is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm and functions as a transcriptional regulator. This protein may also be involved in the expression and nuclear export of retroviral RNAs. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 11 and 13.
