UniProt functional annotation for P46063

UniProt code: P46063.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: DNA helicase that may play a role in the repair of DNA that is damaged by ultraviolet light or other mutagens. Exhibits a magnesium-dependent ATP-dependent DNA-helicase activity that unwinds single- and double-stranded DNA in a 3'-5' direction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15886194, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7961977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8056767}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=3.6.4.12;
Subunit: Interacts with EXO1 and MLH1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15886194}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7961977}.
Tissue specificity: High expression in heart, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney, low expression in brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7961977}.
Similarity: Belongs to the helicase family. RecQ subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA60261.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
