{"symbol":"DDX6","synonyms":["P54","HLR2","RCK"],"name":"DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box helicase 6","description":"This gene encodes a member of the DEAD box protein family. The protein is an RNA helicase found in P-bodies and stress granules, and functions in translation suppression and mRNA degradation. It is required for microRNA-induced gene silencing. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
