About EME1

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:50,373,229-50,381,483 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 194 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 5.3), bone marrow (RPKM 3.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that complexes with methyl methanesulfonate-sensitive UV-sensitive 81 protein to form an Endonuclease complex. The encoded protein interacts with specifc DNA structures including nicked Holliday junctions, 3'-flap structures and aberrant replication fork structures. This protein may be involved in repairing DNA damage and in maintaining genomic stability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
