Lymphoid-specific helicase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HELLS gene.This gene encodes a lymphoid-specific helicase. Other helicases function in processes involving DNA strand separation including replication repair recombination and transcription. This protein is thought to be involved with cellular proliferation and may play a role in leukemogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described but their biological validity has not been determined.
