Summary
DHX8 (DEAH-box helicase 8, HGNC:2749) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.31, encoding ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX8 (Q14562). Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.8% of cancer cell lines).
This gene is a member of the DEAH box polypeptide family. The encoded protein contains the DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) motif which is characteristic of all DEAH box proteins, and is thought to function as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that regulates the release of spliced mRNAs from spliceosomes prior to their export from the nucleus. This protein may be required for the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 137 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
