About Ddx21

Summary

Enables double-stranded RNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB signaling and positive regulation of myeloid dendritic cell cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within response to exogenous dsRNA and response to virus. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb. Orthologous to human DDX21 (DExD-box helicase 21).
