Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; embryo development; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within DNA damage checkpoint signaling and response to UV. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of checkpoint clamp complex. Predicted to be active in site of double-strand break. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; exocrine system; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human HUS1 (HUS1 checkpoint clamp component).
