Summary
Enables RNA strand annealing activity; identical protein binding activity; and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in several processes, including masculinization of hermaphroditic germ-line; positive regulation of embryonic development; and positive regulation of fertilization. Located in P granule. Is expressed in germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. Orthologous to human DDX3X (DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked) and DDX3Y (DEAD-box helicase 3 Y-linked). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
