Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and RNA helicase activity. Predicted to be located in P granule. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in neurons. Orthologous to human DDX51 (DEAD-box helicase 51).
WB Description
ZK686.2 encodes a DEAD-box helicase; loss of ZK686.2 activity via RNAi indicates that ZK686.2 activity is required for positive regulation of growth rate and larval development.
