ATP23 ATP23 metallopeptidase and ATP synthase assembly factor homolog

Gene ID: 91419, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KUB3; XRCC6BP1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is amplified in glioblastomas and interacts with the DNA binding subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase. This kinase is involved in double-strand break repair (DSB), and higher expression of the encoded protein increases the efficiency of DSB. In addition, comparison to orthologous proteins strongly suggests that this protein is a metalloprotease important in the biosynthesis of mitochondrial ATPase. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
