MSH3
mutS homolog 3 (E. coli)
|
|
On chromosome: 5q11-q12
Known also as: DUP; MRP1; MGC163306; MGC163308;
The protein encoded by this gene forms a heterodimer with MSH2 to form MutS beta, part of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system. MutS beta initiates mismatch repair by binding to a mismatch and then forming a complex with MutL alpha heterodimer. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to endometrial cancer.
