DDX18, also known as ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX18, is a 75.4 kDa 670 amino acid protein which is involved in unwinding RNA as a part of the DEAD box protein family. Current research is linking the protein to diseases and disorders such as malaria, arthritis, lung cancer, and neuroblastoma. The protein is involved in transcriptional activation pathways where it interacts with proteins such as HIST1H4A and HIST1H4B.
