Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable RNA helicase activity and mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including P-body assembly; determination of adult lifespan; and negative regulation of translation. Located in P granule; P-body; and cytoplasmic stress granule. Part of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex. Expressed in several structures, including Z2; Z3; germ line; gonad; and neurons. Is an ortholog of human DDX6 (DEAD-box helicase 6).
