Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA double-strand break processing involved in repair via single-strand annealing. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to oxidative stress and double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung cancer (multiple); mucoepidermoid carcinoma; and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human RAD52 (RAD52 homolog, DNA repair protein).
