Description

MRX complex nuclease subunit

Gene Summary

Enables DNA binding activity; molecular adaptor activity; and nuclease activity. Contributes to AMP kinase activity. Involved in DNA metabolic process; ascospore formation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of Mre11 complex. Used to study breast cancer; intestinal cancer; liver cancer; ovarian cancer; and skin cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Lynch syndrome; ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder-1; endometrial cancer; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MRE11 (MRE11 homolog, double strand break repair nuclease). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
