Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

DNA repair protein involved in DNA nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination. May serve as a bridge between XRCC4 and the other NHEJ factors located at DNA ends, or may participate in reconfiguration of the end bound NHEJ factors to allow XRCC4 access to the DNA termini.

Subunit:

Interacts with XRCC4.

Subcellular location:

Nucleus

Alternative products:

Event=alternative splicing; named isoforms=2; name=1; isoid=q9h9q4-1; sequence=displayed; name=2; isoid=q9h9q4-2; sequence=vsp_017689; note=no experimental confirmation available.

Miscellaneous:

Was named 'cernunnos' after the enigmatic celtic god of hunt, underworld and fertility.

Tissue specificity:

Ubiquitously expressed.

Other features

Non-homologous end-joining factor 1: 1-299
