Abstract
DEAH-box helicase 8 (DHX8) is a protein coded by the DHX8 gene in humans. Available information on the sequence to structure to function for this protein is limited in the literature. Therefore, it is of interest to document insights gleaned from the sequence to structure to functional analysis of the DHX8 protein using known software tools such as SMART, Prosite, Pfam, PANTHER, and InterProScan. We also present the predicted preliminary structure data for the protein to glean structure based functional insights.
