OverviewNCBI Gene

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and splicesosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which is an ATPase activated by a variety of RNA species, but not by dsDNA. This protein, and that encoded by DDX5 gene, are more closely related to each other than to any other member of the DEAD box family. This gene can encode multiple isoforms due to both alternative splicing and the use of alternative translation initiation codons, including a non-AUG (CUG) start codon.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DDX17 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DDX17 could matter depends on whether native DDX17 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DDX17 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label DDX17 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
