On chromosome: 17q21.33
| EME1essential meiotic endonuclease 1 homolog 1 (S. pombe) |  |  Known also as: MMS4L; FLJ31364;
 
 
 
 
 
    
      | This gene encodes a protein that complexes with methyl methanesulfonate-sensitive UV-sensitive 81 protein to form an endonuclease complex. The encoded protein interacts with specifc DNA structures including nicked Holliday junctions, 3'-flap structures and aberrant replication fork structures. This protein may be involved in repairing DNA damage and in maintaining genomic stability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. |
