About HELZ

Cytogenetic location: 17q24.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:67,070,444-67,245,989 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and 10 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 6.5), ovary (RPKM 6.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

HELZ is a member of the superfamily I class of RNA helicases. RNA helicases alter the conformation of RNA by unwinding double-stranded regions, thereby altering the biologic activity of the RNA molecule and regulating access to other proteins (Wagner et al., 1999 [PubMed 10471385]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
