HELB DNA helicase B

Gene ID: 92797, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DHB; hDHB

Summary

This gene encodes a DNA-dependent ATPase which catalyzes the unwinding of DNA necessary for DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. This gene is thought to function specifically during the S phase entry of the cell cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
