RUVBL2 RuvB like AAA ATPase 2

Gene ID: 10856, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RVB2; TIH2; ECP51; TIP48; CGI-46; ECP-51; INO80J; REPTIN; TIP49B; TAP54-beta

Summary

This gene encodes the second human homologue of the bacterial RuvB gene. Bacterial RuvB protein is a DNA helicase essential for homologous recombination and DNA double-strand break repair. Functional analysis showed that this gene product has both ATPase and DNA helicase activities. This gene is physically linked to the CGB/LHB gene cluster on chromosome 19q13.3, and is very close (55 nt) to the LHB gene, in the opposite orientation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
