Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1659
Gene name DEAH-box helicase 8
Gene symbol DHX8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DDX8Dhr2HRH1PRP22PRPF22
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q21.31
Summary This gene is a member of the DEAH box polypeptide family. The encoded protein contains the DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) motif which is characteristic of all DEAH box proteins, and is thought to function as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that regulates the releas

Protein name ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX8 (EC 3.6.4.13) (DEAH box protein 8) (RNA helicase HRH1)
Protein function Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome (PubMed:11991638, PubMed:28076346, PubMed:28502770). Facilitates nuclear export of spliced mRNA by releasing the RNA from the spliceosome (PubMed:8608946). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1199163
