Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA helicase activity; RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to camptothecin; negative regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription preinitiation complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and replication fork. Orthologous to human RECQL5 (RecQ like helicase 5).
