RNA Helicase A: Proteins and Enzymes

DHX9, also known as ATP-dependent RNA helicase A, consists of a 141 kDa and a 24.3 kDa isoform and is involved in activating transcription and unwinding DNA and RNA helixes in the 3' to 5' direction. Current research is being conducted on diseases and disorders such as influenza, hepatitis, t-cell leukemia, astigmatism, keratitis, immunodeficiency, Werner syndrome, and arthritis. The protein interacts in mRNA splicing, mRNA processing, and gene expression pathways with HIST1H3A- HIST13E proteins.
