Dhx36 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; double-stranded RNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within response to exogenous dsRNA and response to virus. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in heart and telencephalon. Orthologous to human DHX36 (DEAH-box helicase 36).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dhx36 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
