RFC2

replication factor C (activator 1) 2, 40kDa

On chromosome: 7q11.23
Known also as: A1; RFC40; MGC3665;


NCBI Gene ID: 5982
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000049541
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 600404
Species: Homo sapiens

The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and epsilon requires the action of the accessory proteins, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC). RFC, also called activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits of 145, 40, 38, 37, and 36.5 kD. This gene encodes the 40 kD subunit, which has been shown to be responsible for binding ATP. Deletion of this gene has been associated with Williams syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
