Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; RNA helicase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA export from nucleus and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to colocalize with cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human DDX39A (DExD-box helicase 39A).
