    basic FUNCTION
  • ATP-dependent RNA helicase displaying tumor-specific expression
  • implicated in the promotion of tumor growth in melanoma through RAS/AKT and RAS/ERK pathways
  • promotes proliferation and tumor growth of malignant melanoma cells
  • promotes tumor cell proliferation by regulating RAS protein expression, which in turn leads to the activation of downstream signaling pathways implicated in cell proliferation and survival

    tumoral       gain of function
    by promoter hypomethylation and DDX43 hypomethylation may be a favorable prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia
    tumoral     --over  
    hypomethylation of the DDX43 promoter directly correlates with its expression in both CML cell lines and patients and is associated with advanced disease and poor outcome
