Summary: Enables single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including homologous chromosome orientation in meiotic metaphase I; response to estradiol; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centrosome; chromosome, telomeric region; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of BRCA2-MAGE-D1 complex; DNA repair complex; and nuclear ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study atrophy of testis; cancer; cataract; infertility; and osteosarcoma. Biomarker of ductal carcinoma in situ and prostate cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Fanconi anemia (multiple); esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome; melanoma (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human BRCA2 (BRCA2 DNA repair associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
