Summary: Contributes to 3' overhang single-stranded DNA endodeoxyribonuclease activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; negative regulation of protection from non-homologous end joining at telomere; and telomeric DNA-containing double minutes formation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA metabolic process; hemopoiesis; and response to X-ray. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Part of DNA-dependent protein kinase-DNA ligase 4 complex and ERCC4-ERCC1 complex. Is expressed in head; heart; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple myeloma; salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma; and salivary gland carcinoma. Orthologous to human XRCC4 (X-ray repair cross complementing 4).

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.
