PCNA

proliferating cell nuclear antigen

On chromosome: 20pter-p12
Known also as: MGC8367;


NCBI Gene ID: 5111
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000132646
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 176740
Species: Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is found in the nucleus and is a cofactor of DNA polymerase delta. The encoded protein acts as a homotrimer and helps increase the processivity of leading strand synthesis during DNA replication. In response to DNA damage, this protein is ubiquitinated and is involved in the RAD6-dependent DNA repair pathway. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene have been described on chromosome 4 and on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq]
