EME1

essential meiotic endonuclease 1 homolog 1 (S. pombe)

On chromosome: 17q21.33
Known also as: MMS4L; FLJ31364;


NCBI Gene ID: 146956
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000154920
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 610885
Species: Homo sapiens

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.
