    Summary
    Enables 3'-5' exonuclease activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in nucleotide-excision repair and telomere maintenance via telomerase. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dyskeratosis congenita. Orthologous to human DCLRE1B (DNA cross-link repair 1B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]
