YTH Domain Containing Protein 2 (YTHDC2)

YTH Domain Containing Protein 2 (YTHDC2) Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily.Contains 2 ANK repeats.Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.Contains 1 R3H domain.Contains 1 YTH domain. The DEAD/DEAH box helicases are a family of proteins whose purpose is to unwind nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression. DEAD box proteins are considered to be RNA helicases and many have been found to be required in cellular processes such as pre-mRNA processing and rearranging of ribonucleoproteins (RNP) complexes.
