Entrez Gene summary for DDX21 Gene:

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 is an antigen recognized by

autoimmune antibodies from a patient with watermelon stomach disease. This protein unwinds double-stranded RNA,

folds single-stranded RNA, and may play important roles in ribosomal RNA biogenesis, RNA editing, RNA transport,

and general transcription. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for DDX21 Gene:

DDX21 (DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box helicase 21) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with DDX21 include stomach disease, and treacher collins syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include double-stranded RNA binding and ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. An important paralog of this gene is DDX50.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DDX21_HUMAN, Q9NR30

Function: Can unwind double-stranded RNA (helicase) and can fold or introduce a secondary structure to a

single-stranded RNA (foldase). Functions as cofactor for JUN-activated transcription. Involved in rRNA processing
