{"symbol":"EME1","synonyms":["SLX2A","MMS4L"],"name":"essential meiotic structure-specific endonuclease 1","description":"This gene encodes a protein that complexes with methyl methanesulfonate-sensitive UV-sensitive 81 protein to form an endonuclease complex. The encoded protein interacts with specifc DNA structures including nicked Holliday junctions, 3\u0027-flap structures and aberrant replication fork structures. This protein may be involved in repairing DNA damage and in maintaining genomic stability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":146956,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/146956","proteins":[{"symbol":"EME1_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/EME1_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
