BLM

Bloom syndrome, RecQ helicase-like

On chromosome: 15q26.1
Known also as: BS; RECQ2; RECQL2; RECQL3; MGC126616; MGC131618; MGC131620;


NCBI Gene ID: 641
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000197299
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 604610
Species: Homo sapiens

The Bloom syndrome gene product is related to the RecQ subset of DExH box-containing DNA helicases and has both DNA-stimulated ATPase and ATP-dependent DNA helicase activities. Mutations causing Bloom syndrome delete or alter helicase motifs and may disable the 3'-5' helicase activity. The normal protein may act to suppress inappropriate recombination.
