(redirected from DEAD box protein 6)DDX6
A gene on chromosome 11q23.3 that encodes a putative RNA helicase with a conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif which is found in P-bodies and stress granules. It suppresses translation and mRNA degradation, and is required for microRNA-induced gene silencing.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc. All rights reserved.
