Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA helicase activity and DNA/DNA annealing activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA unwinding involved in DNA replication; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and replication fork processing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromosome and cytoplasm. Is expressed in cerebral cortex subventricular zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RECQL (RecQ like helicase).
