Ddx41 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and RNA helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cGAS/STING signaling pathway; cell population proliferation; and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; defense response to virus; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Predicted to be part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myeloproliferative neoplasm. Orthologous to human DDX41 (DEAD-box helicase 41). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 rat Ddx41 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
