Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and replication fork processing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and site of double-strand break. Predicted to be part of DNA replication factor A complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear replication fork. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and genitourinary system. Used to study Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia. Orthologous to human SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a like 1).
