Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: MODEL
Organism: Danio rerio
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Ostariophysi; Cypriniformes; Danionidae; Danioninae; Danio
Also known as: im:7153552
Summary: Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and RNA helicase activity. Acts upstream of or within cell division; mRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation; and primitive hemopoiesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; midbrain; and pronephric duct. Orthologous to human DHX8 (DEAH-box helicase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
