RFC1

replication factor C (activator 1) 1, 145kDa

On chromosome: 4p14-p13
Known also as: A1; RFC; PO-GA; RECC1; MHCBFB; RFC140; MGC51786;


NCBI Gene ID: 5981
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000035928
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 102579
Species: Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is the large subunit of replication factor C, which is a five subunit DNA polymerase accessory protein. Replication factor C is a DNA-dependent ATPase that is required for eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. The protein acts as an activator of DNA polymerases, binds to the 3' end of primers, and promotes coordinated synthesis of both strands. It also may have a role in telomere stability.
