RNA helicases alter the conformation of RNA by unwinding double-stranded regions, thereby altering the biologic activity of the RNA molecule and regulating access to other proteins (Wagner et al., 1999 [PubMed 10471385]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 6.5), ovary (RPKM 6.3) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
