    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in genomic stability and control of apoptosis
  • involved in blunt DNA ends joining
  • protection of the genomic integrity of cells
  • required to prevent accumulation of replication-associated DNA double-strand breaks
  • nucleocytoplasmic shuttling molecule required for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH1) transduction of the GnRH receptor (GNRHR)
  • member of the Group I Fanconi anemia proteins including also FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, repair
    nucleotide, genomic integrity
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    chromosome instability pathway
    a component
  • component of a nuclear complex with FANCC, FANCF, FANCG (XRCC9, SWI/SNF complex
  • integral component in the early step of homology-directed repair of DNA double-strand breaks and thereby minimizing the genomic instability
  • member of the Group I Fanconi anemia proteins including also FANCM, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • SMARCA4 in non mitosis phases for DNA repair
  • BRCA1
  • FANCE, FANCC, FANCG, FANCF( forming a multisubunit nuclear complex, FA complex, required for FANCD2 monoubiquitination)
  • interact with BRCA1, RAD51 and the MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 complex (may be involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs)
